VISITORS to Burnham should now be able to find their way around the town with ease, thanks to a series of new orientation maps that were unveiled this week.

Produced in partnership between Burnham town centre manager Beverley Milner Simonds and local artist Juliet Farnese, the maps are being installed around the town centre as an aid for tourists.

Beverley said: “I am really pleased to have worked with local artist Juliet Farnese on the updating of the ‘You are Here’ map for Burnham on Sea.

“The first two have gone up in town and we are just awaiting permissions from landlords and the remaining five maps will be printed and put up.

“Having an easy to navigate, bright and welcoming orientation map is really important and hopefully these will be installed at the key entry points to Burnham in the coming month.”

A spokesperson for the Chamber of Trade said: “We very much welcome the introduction of these new information boards which have the same presentation style as the Chamber’s Shoppers Guide brochures, 30,000 copies of which are being distributed across the region this year to promote Burnham’s town centre.”
