Welcome to Orleton Village
Do you want to get cheaper heating oil or LPG?
Orleton is part of the Community Resource Oil Buying Club. Your local co-ordinator is Eddie Clanzy-Hodge.
You can have a look at the Oil Buying Club brochure here Page 1 and Page 2.
Should you wish to join the scheme, please visit the Community Resource website.
There is a charge of £27 p.a. and membership runs for the full year after joining. This covers the administrative costs of the Shropshire RCC but you will easily recover this with reduced costs for your heating oil over the year. The Oil Buying Club takes monthly orders from members across Shropshire and get the best bulk price that they can every month.
The prices are normally below the best quoted prices elsewhere and the admin is all sorted out for you. All you have to do is tell us how much oil you need (minimum of 500 litres) and we will do the rest. Normally, payment is after delivery.
The Parish Council has arranged the Orleton Good Neighbour Scheme.
This is a free service supporting people in our community and it is run entirely by local volunteers. If you are in need of help then call 07825 484 289 and there will be someone to help you.

There is now a paid for fortnightly garden waste collection in Herefordshire. It costs about £5 per month and uses 240l brown bins.

Dial 105 if you have a power cut.
There have been numerous complaints this year about garden bonfires causing problems because the smoke has been enveloping houses.
