BETTER access to information is on the horizon in Chipping Sodbury.

The town’s Tourist Information Centre is now open later in the afternoon, giving people more opportunities to pop in.

It will now be open until 5pm each day from Monday through to Saturday.

Centre manager Laura Lee Phillips said this was due to increasing demand.

“We are very busy at the moment as many of the bus routes will be changing on Sunday, April 13, so we have had lots of people calling in to pick up a copy of the new timetables.”

She added that the centre was also selling tickets for the July beer and music festival, run by Yate and District Rotary Club.

During the summer period, until the end of October, the centre is open Monday to Saturday, 10am until 5pm.
