Public concern over the closure of Marlborough's Tourist Information Centre highlights the important part TICs play in the life of local communities.

The Pewsey Area Community Trust believes there may be a demand for such a centre in Pewsey.

Such a source of information about overnight accommodation, transport, canal facilities, bridle paths, cycleways, local events and businesses could help both visitors and local people to make the most of what is available.

If there is appreciable local support, the trust would like to explore the possibility of setting up such a centre in Pewsey.

Readers are welcome to send their views to the tust, care of the Gazette and Herald.
