A CHARITY hopes to develop its services after moving to new premises in Durham City.

The County Durham Society for the Blind and Partially Sighted has relocated from an upstairs office in North Road to an ex-community hall in Church Lane that was offered to it by Durham City Council.

The centre, now called the Oswald Court Resource Centre, is accessible to people in wheelchairs and the visually impaired.

Volunteer co-ordinator Sandra Hillyard said: "We are delighted with our new premises."
