A FORMER estate agents office in Cwmbran could be converted into an adult gaming centre under plans submitted to Torfaen council. Plans have been lodged to open the gaming centre at the former Roberts and Co office in Gwent Square, which is currently empty. The applicant is proposing to relocate their current business which is also in the shopping centre to the new location. Under the plans, the business would open from 9am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 6pm on Sundays. Between six and eight staff are expected to be employed, including three or four full-time. Currently the gaming centre only employs one full-time member of staff and one or two part-time, due to the size of its site in the indoor market and the “limited opening hours”, a planning statement says.
The report says that if the new facility is approved, it may take on pre-school and after-school childcare in the future. Llantarnam Community Primary School was built on the former site of Llantarnam Comprehensive School, under the provisions, and with funding from, the Welsh Government’s 21st Century Schools programme. The school opened in November 2016 It takes in children from three to 11 years of age, and has a current capacity for 315 pupils. Councillor Alan Slade, Llantarnam ward member on Torfaen County Borough Council, said he supported the application, which would provide “a much-needed resource to sit alongside the primary school”.
