The local information points have been set up in council offices, post offices, shops and at visitor attractions.

Lisa Murphy, manager of the Courtyard Community Village Shop in Ropley, where one of the information points is located, said: “The idea is brilliant and I have had all positive comments from my customers.

“A lot have said that before, they didn’t have access to this type of information unless they went to an attraction or to Petersfield.

“It also means that local people as well as visitors can use the information stand and benefit from it.”

Information points are located at: Grayshott Village Post Office, Crossways Road; Grayshott Pottery, School Road; The Kingsley Centre, Main Road, Kingsley; Ropley Community Shop and Post Office, Church Street; Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Horndean; Horndean Parish Council, Blendworth Lane; The Forest Community Centre, Pinehill Road, Bordon; Jane Austen’s House, Chawton; and the Community Centre, Amery Street, Alton.
