AFTER hearing parish council colleagues debate whether Pewsey would benefit from an automated information kiosk, district councillor Anne Hayhoe announced she had already given the idea the go-ahead.
On Tuesday parish councillors spent some time discussing whether Pewsey needed the touch-screen computerised information service together with an ATM cash point.
Coun Jill Bromley said most people in Pewsey would prefer to see the village's public toilets retained.
Coun Alison Reid said visitor information was already available at Voluntary Action Kennet's offices in River Street.
Councillors pointed out that the village had three cash point machines and they decided by a large majority against having one of the kiosks.
Coun Hayhoe then said she had already been asked to make a decision on behalf of the village and after speaking to lots of members of the public who wanted one, she agreed Pewsey could have one.
Coun Tony Molland who was attending the meeting as Pewsey's new county councillor said: "If Pewsey doesn't want it, it can always go somewhere else."
