I HAVE heard with utter dismay that the Tourist Information Centre (TIC) may be closed. This is enormously short-sighted. This particular branch ideally situated in the Market Square is one of the best in the country and a huge asset to the community.

My husband and I have travelled extensively all over England and always make our first stop at the local TIC and without doubt ours is the most helpful and the staff the most knowledgeable of those we have visited from Coldstream in the north to St Ives in Cornwall.

I so hope that the

excellent service that we receive from the staff can be somehow maintained.
