Tourism sustains many jobs in Tunbridge Wells. There is much to see and do across the borough. Royal Tunbridge Wells is a shopping mecca with many small specialist shops selling a huge variety of products.
One would have imagined that the Council would seek to encourage tourists and shoppers to flock to the area in view of their importance to the economic well-being of the borough.
Unfortunately the opposite is the impression one gains. Proposals to close public toilets, swingeing car-park charges and now the deplorable plan to close the Tourist Information Centre next winter as a 'pilot'. The bright? idea is to move the TIC to the Gateway, which is a good mile from the main tourist attraction, the Pantiles, where the TIC currently is located.
Daft, stupid, barmy - pick your own word.
