New marketing officer for Church Stretton

A new tourism strategy is being launched in Church Stretton to promote the Silvester Horne Institute and encourage more people to use the town.

Church Stretton Town Council has unveiled the scheme.

It is also offering a £25,000 contract for a marketing officer to run its new website and promote venues and events.

A £76,000 restoration of the institute has been completed and it is hoped it will become a focal point for community activities. An open day will be held at the venue on Thursday.
