A sexual health clinic for under 18s is preparing move to Barry Hospital in September.

The free weekly drop-in sessions are currently held every Thursday afternoon at the Broad Street clinic.

But from 10th September, they will be run from the town's hospital on Colcot Road every Wednesday from 3-5pm.

The Broad Street site - considered an ''eyesore'' by some residents - has been earmarked for demolition as part of a redevelopment plan.

It will see the clinic replaced by an apartment block while the old compound site will be replaced by 46 council apartments for older people.

The sexual health clinic, run by the Cardiff and Vale health board and the YMCA's sexual health outreach team, is confidential.

No parental permission or appointment is needed and parents & GPs are not informed unless there are serious safety concerns.

Services include contraceptive methods and advice, STI testing and treatment for common infections, free condoms, pregnancy testing, pap smears and referrals for gynaecology and further treatment.
