ROSSENDALE'S tourist information service has temporarily moved for refurbishment work.

The Kay Street-based centre has moved to the Weavers Cottage, Bacup Road, Rawtenstall while the work is carried out.

The refurbishment is expected to take a further four weeks before the more attractive Kay Street centre is opened.

Tourism assistant Tim Nuttall said: "We are looking forward to a more spacious and brighter tourism information office for Rossendale.

"We are making various improvements, including disability access. We are also hoping to increase the souvenirs in the shop and add new ranges as well as providing touch screens for people to gain access to information more easily."
