STAFF at the Tenbury Tourist Information Centre are doing their bit to encourage more visitors into the Teme Valley.

More than 2,000 people have dropped into the Teme Street shop to pick up brochures covering the many attractions in the town and a keen interest is being registered in gardens, museums, concerts and theatres in the area.

Although numbers are down on this time last year, these are expected to be boosted during August when the schools break-up for the summer holiday.

Volunteers are needed for a few hours a week to assist visitors calling in at the centre. For more information, contact 01584 810136.
