Reader suggests a Trago Mills type of development for Neath

A Trago Mills type of development would be ideal for Neath and suit the character of the town, says a reader on our letters page.

The nearest development of this type is at Merthyr Tydfil.
Swansea Road, - Merthyr Tydfil, CF48 1HT  Tel: 01685 707500

Trago Merthyr Tydfil is located just off the A470 (Swansea Road) and opposite Cyfarthfa Retail Park in Merthyr Tydfil.  Inside you will find 200,000 square feet of retail therapy, with thousands of bargains at unbeatable everyday lowest prices!

Hungry shoppers can refuel between bargain hunting at The Brickworks Café & Coffee Bar, which offers a tasty selection of light snacks and hearty meals or you can simply tuck into a slice of cake with a refreshing cuppa.  Alternatively, fish and chips, burgers and other fast food options are available from our take away – For Cod’s Sake. 

On the Piazza outside the main entrance are some small independent retailers, who offer products and food to complement what we have in store.  These include Warrens Bakery (one of the oldest bakeries in the UK and the World’s oldest commercial producer of Cornish Pasties); Bradleys Coffee Ltd (hot & cold drinks, cakes, toasties and panini); Take Thai (Thai food);  (unisex hairdresser); Feed Me Fitt (health & fitness food)…and more.

The reader adds that this would be more cost effective to develop than a run of the mill shopping centre.
