Action urged over Tenbury Wells' 'appalling' season

The market town of Tenbury Wells on the south Shropshire border has endured an "appalling" summer of tourism - with officials claiming action needs to be taken to entice more people.

The streets of Tenbury Wells have been near-deserted this week at what should be the height of the holiday season, it was claimed today.

Members of Tenbury Tourism Group have claimed the prolonged wet weather during August and uncertainty over parking in the town have contributed to the problem.
