Gorsley is not alone in the current challenges facing rural communities – we all lead busy lives, daily commuting to places of work, more frequently communicating by the phone or social media as opposed to face to face… Without knowing it our communities and the services it offers suffer and the spaces where communities come together, get to know one another and support one another are lost. The ‘Hub’ vision recognises that individually people want and need community and require spaces and services to enable it to happen.
