Why this petition matters

Started by john bridger

The decision in June 2020 to close Hunstanton’s staffed Tourist Information Centre (opened in 2004) was made by Hunstanton Town Council (HTC) and Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk. There was no prior consultation by the Councils before this decision was taken, either with the 150 businesses in Hunstanton or with the local community.  In July 2020, a small unstaffed Tourist Information room was opened with a collection of leaflets in a poor location.

From HTC’s Annual Report for 2019/2020, posted online in May 2020: “Popular services have included the processing of parking permits for residents, businesses and visitors to the town, and ticket sales for local attractions. The excellent and knowledgeable staff ensure that local businesses are promoted by holding menus from local restaurants, and helping with accommodation bookings for providers registered with Visit West Norfolk. Leaflets are stocked for hundreds of local attractions as well as bus timetables and ‘Where to Go’ guides”.

We wish to see a new staffed Tourist Information Facility reopen in a central location of Hunstanton. We really need your voice and support as we seek a U-turn on the Councils’ decision.
