Rikki Teml, centre manager at Cwmbran Centre, says: “We’re pleased that Cwmbran features in the Top 20 of Property Week’s Hot Retail Index 2020 and see this as a reflection of Cwmbran Centre’s longstanding position at the heart of the town centre. “Last month the centre secured a trio of new leases, with Welsh brands Clogau, A G Meek and Sin City Comics & Gaming now part of Cwmbran’s retail line-up.
