Two shipping containers proposed at Ysgol Bryn Coch for a community food project

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The application proposes putting two shipping containers on the grounds of Ysgol Bryn Coch, a primary school in Mold. The applicant states they would be used for Big Bocs Bwyd, a community project that shares food and other items with local families.

The school sits close to several other schools and chapels, and about a two-minute walk from Ysgol Maes Garmon. A busy road, the A5119, carries almost 5,000 vehicles a day nearby, but most of the surrounding streets are shielded from the site by other buildings.

Because the containers would sit right next to the primary school, there could be some noise and disruption while they are delivered and installed. The area also has a lot of recorded crime, which could be a factor in how the containers are kept secure.
