Join the Congresbury Scouts in celebrating 60 years of continuous scouting in the village with a church parade, games and a tea party on Sunday 21st April at St Andrew’s Church and Glebe Field.

All Scout families, past and present, are welcome to join! There will be a small exhibition of their history, in the church, including that of the pre-war Scout group that operated from 1922. Do come and see if you can see a photograph of someone that you know, and tell them the history; they have a huge unlabeled archive!

Parade from 2pm, church from 2.15pm and the party will last until about 4.30pm!

Those who have kept a keen eye on the roadworks via OneNetwork will no doubt be aware that the Wood Hill junction is due for closure from 25th March. Signs up on Wood Hill show that this closure will be longer than is currently being shown on OneNetwork – indicating that it will be closed until 23rd August. The closure is part of North Somerset’s Bus Service Improvement Plan. This is just a warning to those who may not pass by that way every day!

The community café is raising money throughout March and April, to support St Andrew’s school’s Year 6 camp in May. It will be donating a minimum of £750.

On Friday 5 April the Police PCSOs will be at the cafe from 11am till 1pm if you want to have a chat or have your bike security marked.

The Environment Agency drop in event in the Old School Rooms on 23^rd February brought good news for the village. The plans for the Green have been abandoned. No trees will be removed, the Green will stay its present size and construction will take just a month, not 18 as originally planned.  The Environment Agency will do some minor work along the rhyne and lower the river embankment in the field beyond the Green to improve drainage. They also promise to reinstate/repair the path from the car park to the Green after the work has been done this summer.
