Chesterfield's Tourist Information Centre (TIC) has been awarded gold in a prestigious national competition that promotes quality standards in the tourism industry.
Chesterfield TIC, run by Chesterfield Borough Council, scooped the top award in the finals of the Enjoy England Excellence Awards at the National Railway Museum in York last week. The Centre fought off stiff competition from rivals in Colchester and Royal Windsor to win gold for best Tourist Information Service for the second time, four years after the team first clinched the award in 2005.
