Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Cabinet will meet on Friday (23rd August) to agree on a temporary way forward, following the news that the timescales for the asbestos removal and remediation works at the Cwmcarn High School site have been unavoidably affected following the tragic death of a contractor at the school site in July.

In a joint statement, Caerphilly County Borough Council and Cwmcarn High School said:

"It was hoped that the school would re-open to pupils and staff on Wednesday 4th September, however unfortunately the delay to the works recommencing on site have impacted upon the return date for pupils to the school site.
