Members of Cwmbran Community Council have expressed their disappointment at the announcement of the proposed closure of Marks & Spencer in Cwmbran, as featured in the local press recently.

Chairman of the Council, Councillor Peter Cathcart said, “The store is an important landmark within Cwmbran Centre. I very much hope that a solution can be reached to help the store remain in Cwmbran for the benefit of staff, customers and the wider business community. I know that many people are working hard to arrive at  a solution. We will watch the situation closely to see if there are ways we can help.”
