BAKERY Greggs is hoping to open a new branch in Swindon

The firm has applied to use a unit in the Equity Trade Centre in Hobley Drive, Stratton St Margaret.

The company’s application says: “Many industrial and employment areas are poorly served in terms of formal, accessible and affordable food and drink provision which often leads to unsustainable car journeys to retail destinations to obtain food and drink during the course of working hours.

“Due to the location of the bakery, its limited scale and turnover, its impact is negligible and designated centres further afield are not materially harmed.”
