A group which co-ordinates the activities of volunteers in the Bromyard area is hoping to raise its profile by moving to a better location.

The local branch of Herefordshire Voluntary Action wants to relocate its volunteer bureau in Little Hereford Street to a shop in Broad Street.

However, planning permission is needed to change the use of the Broad Street building before the move can take place.

Roger Wilkins, agent for the property's owners, said an application had been submitted to Herefordshire Council.

"We may have a problem as the council's policy suggest that the premises should only be used for retail shops," he said.
