A Better Welcome for Market Towns

Tenbury Wells scored very well in a survey of visitors carried out during last year. Although some of the answers were slightly less reliable as the town was recovering from severe flooding, most visitor found that a visit to Tenbury Wells was a worthwhile and enjoyable experience.

Tenbury attracts a high number of adult couples from professional backgrounds, who are over 55. They tend to be visiting for the day, either from home or from holiday accommodation outside the area. The downside is although they enjoy their visit, they don't stay very long, because there is not enough to do and see.

Tenbury Wells now has an opportunity to rectify this shortcoming with a grant for capital developments.

Suggestions for improving the visitor experience include:-

• A riverside walk with additional seating
• Improved visitor information boards
• Improved/additional interpretation panels
• Improved facilities on the Burgage
• New feature entrance to the Burgage

Any one wishing the participate in the project should contact Malcolm Salisbury at the Tourist Information Centre.

What's On? - Not a lot!

The web site of Malvern Hills District Council's very expensive (if you believe the budget) tourist information centre in Tenbury, reports that almost nothing is happening in Tenbury over the next few months except for some rather exclusive events for the well healed at our number one town centre posh eatery.

Do they only list the events at this one establishment, because it's the only one that proactively provides information, or is it because this is the establishment where visiting officials seems to be fed and watered!

Tenbury Wells Tourist Information Centre

With all the funding that has been made available to the TWTIC, why is the information on their web site so out of date.

Yes we know that the Tenbury Agricultural Show has been cancelled, but is it still relevant several month after the fact.

Much of the site content is out of date, and the "Events in Tenbury Wells" page seems to have become "Whats on @ Whites".

If Tenbury wants to hold its head up as a tourist 'destination', surely it needs to compete at all levels including it's web sites.
