New Street is kind of in 2 halves, split with the only road open to traffic and the pallasades entrance (but there is a pelican crossing!) The first half by the retunda contains the Odeon cinema, Primark (which sells cheap and cheerful clothes and accesories) and various show shops. Outside the Odeon is usually where there will be entertainment, such as a musician or dance performers. There is also a man selling unusual socks etc and a newspaper trolley.
On the entrance to the Pallasades is a very busy ramp with McDonalds and HSBC bank on the sides.
Over the road are slightly 'posher' shops. Jane Norman, Muji (modern art shop) and various coffee shops and cafes line the paved strreets up to the lage post office opposite the jacuzzi at the end. There is also a boots, superdrug, H & M and newsagents along here. Both streets are nicely paved with benches and kept reasonably tidy.
