THE former housing office at Kirkham Gardens, Bromyard, could be converted into two bungalows.

Festival Housing has decided to use a new mobile office, which can also visit outlying villages. A planning application for the conversion has been sent in to Herefordshire Council.

If approved, the bungalows will be added to Festival's housing stock.

A NATURAL food shop in Broad Street, Bromyard, is branching out with a small cafe.

Yvonne Folan, of Eden Wholefoods, has put in a planning application to change the use of her shop from retail to retail plus cafe.

"It's only three tables, but it gives vegetarians somewhere to have a snack and a hot drink," she said.
