|September 16, 2025
Developers behind ambitious proposals to build a new M&S food hall at Norcross have responded to a long list of concerns raised via a huge public reaction.
-
The plans to build a new 'first class' M&S store at Norcross offering '6,600 product lines' were lodged with Wyre planners in January.
This store is intended to replace M&S's current outlet on Victoria Road West, in Cleveleys town centre, as that outlet is deemed to be 'too small', and the proposed new branch comes with the prospect of up to 50 new retail jobs being created.
