Final day for Oswestry's Mile End Visitor Information Centre
The Visitor Information Centre at Mile End, Oswestry will close today.
Following the closure, phone, postal and email enquiries will be handled by Oswestry Borderland Tourism Ltd under a contract with Shropshire Council. Visitors will be able to obtain information from the Heritage Centre in Oswestry, which is run by Oswestry Borderland Tourism Ltd, as well as local attractions.
The decision to close Mile End Visitor Information Centre and award a contract to Oswestry Borderland Tourism Ltd was made by Shropshire Council’s Cabinet in March.
Stuart West, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for culture and leisure, said:
“Though Mile End Visitor Information Centre is closing people will still be able to access and receive visitor information from Oswestry Borderland Tourism Ltd, by visiting the Heritage Centre, from the board that will be in place at Mile End or from a wide range of local attractions and websites.
“I’d like to thank all the current and former Mile End Visitor Information Centre staff for the valuable service they have provided over the years to many thousands of visitors to Oswestry and to Shropshire.”
Following today's closure an information board will be provided at the Mile End service area promoting the availability of local visitor information services in Oswestry and at nearby tourist attractions. The board will include the telephone number of Oswestry Heritage Centre VIC, local websites, local visitor amenities and other helpful information.
