They put their building skills to the test after a quick lesson in bricklaying from Wates Construction. Divided into teams, prizes were given to those who built the best quality wall.

Julie Addinall, who lives on Windmill Approach, said: "This is a great way to get the local community involved. My daughter really enjoyed the brickwork challenge with Wates and their sub-contractor C & I Smith; especially considering she won a 10 voucher."
The 5m Hub will be a state-of-the-art youth facility that will provide activities such as motorbike and go-kart workshops; a hair and beauty zone; job and careers advice; a music and media studio; health clinics and an allotment garden.
