Work on fields next to the Millennium Green, Congresbury
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.
YACWAG has nothing to do with this land. If you hear this rumour please put people right. Thank you.
