A GRANT of £24,000 from Biffaward will be helping young people in Lydney to refurbish a recreation area suitable for several ball games.

Biffaward is an environment fund managed by the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts which uses landfill tax credits donated by Biffa Waste Services.

Lydney Area in Partnership has secured the funding. When completed the area will provide a steel-fenced ball court.
