RESOURCE CENTRE - Ocle Pychard Group Parish Council has been awarded a grant of £700 from Herefordshire Council’s Community Pride grant fund for the purchase of a printer and collator following the closure of Bromyard Resource Centre at the end of March. With additional funding from the three local councils, the centre’s equipment will be transferred to Burley Gate Village Hall and will be known as the Burley Gate Resource Centre. The equipment will be operated as a community facility and will be used to print the community newsletter and possibly newsletters for other parishes.
