Some work is being done on the ‘mitigation land’ next to the Millennium Green related to the planning application for housing on land north of Mulberry Road Congresbury. This mitigation land consists of two large fields next to the Millennium Green.
The contractor has apparently been telling members of the public that this work is being done on behalf of YACWAG. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

These sessions are not like school; they are full of fun, hands on and providing very practical skills.
Interest from adult volunteers with any basic IT skills who could support young people would be very welcome. We would especially like to hear from young people looking for Duke of Edinburgh scheme placements meeting criteria for volunteering or skills units. Contact us at congresburycodeclub@gmail.com, or drop in to Congresbury Youth Club during Monday sessions.
