children/young people to design own bins for village. It was generally agreed
that litter in area of EB has improved with committee members picking up litter

(ii) Fair Share – there is a slight possibility there may be funding
for a Project Manager who would be able to oversee all CN’s existing
children/young people activities as well as MUGA, Forest, kayaking etc. Bethan
