An application has been made by WH Smith for a New Premises Licence, which would see its opening times extended and allow the sale of alcohol.

The new M&S Simply Food will see the supermarket return to the Cwmbran Centre just 15 months after Marks and Spencer closed its full store at the centre in May 2019.
