Nailsworth Town Information Centre has Moved . . .Opened in 2002 by the Town Council at No.4 The Old George, the Town Information Centre has moved tothe building which housed the former Police Station next to the Library in Old Market.Nailsworth Town Council purchased the building last year and a modest refurbishment has beenundertaken to bring the building up to meet modern regulations and adapt it for its new purpose.The rent saved from the former location will pay the mortgage on the new one, which once paid off, willthen be fully owned by the town.We are currently open Monday to Friday and Saturdaymornings, but would like to open also on Saturdayafternoons and Sunday mornings in the summer months.However we would need extra volunteers who could coverthese shifts. If you would like to help, please call or pop in.
the TIC provides information for residents and visitorsThe TIC is staffed by a merry band of volunteers who each do a half day shift. Itis open for business from Monday to Friday 9.30 - 5pm and Saturday till 1pm. Thevolunteers are mostly long-term local residents who bring a wealth of personalknowledge to complement the collection of leaflets and information on offer. Thebureau sells a few maps and walking guides essential to this type of operation, butmakes every effort not to stock items that might take business from the town’s retailers.Footfall is fairly steady throughout the year, consisting of both local people andvisitors to the town, and adds up to over 7000 people a year. Bus timetables andgreen garden sacks are the hot favourites, along with ideas on how to entertain thegrandchildren or where to take Auntie Sue who’s coming over from Canada.The Volunteering :Nailsworth initiativeoperates from theTIC.
