TOWN COUNCIL OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES NEW TOWN GUIDE AND WEBSITE

Beverley Town Council has launched its new and improved website, along with a Town Guide that will be of benefit to both residents and visitors.

To access the website... well, if you're reading this you've already found it, we hope you enjoy browsing through the pages and finding out what Beverley Town Council does and a bit about Beverley as a whole!

Regarding the Town Guide, this has been produced in partnership with Beverley Renaissance Partnership.  The idea of the Town Guide is for it to act as a central point of information, primarily for residents, but visitors may also find it useful.  Rather than detailing such things as guest houses and hotels that other documents cover, this one address elements such as information about the Town Council, a potted history of the town, details about six key locations and a directory of contacts from local politicians and schools, to churches and surgeries.  In addition, all the advertisements publicise good, local businesses and facilities.

In addition, the publication also contains a street map of the town and another map indicating the boundaries of not only the four wards that compose Beverley Town Council, but also those of Woodmansey and Molescroft.   The Town Guide is available free of charge from Beverley Town Council, Town Councillors and a variety of community facilities around the town, including the Customer Service Centre and Beverley Library.
