South East Wales AM Veronica German says Monmouth's Shire Hall would make an "ideal" home for the town's Tourist Information Centre.

On a tour of the Shire Hall on Monday (31st January), the Liberal Democrat AM told manager Mike Booth the building would be "a lovely place to have a TIC".

"The Shire Hall is a wonderful building and it needs to be accessible and vibrant," she said.

Liberal Democrat candidate for Monmouthshire Janet Ellard added: "The Shire Hall has huge potential to become what it was first suggested it should be – a 'Hall for All'.

"At the moment, it's not fully up and running but Mike Booth has big plans for temporary exhibitions, debating competitions, treasure hunts and video-conferencing facilities, to name just a few.

"Once the reception desk is manned, he hopes that the doors can be kept open to welcome in both Monmouthshire residents and visitors to the area."
