Background to the closure of the Visitor Information Centre
In line with many councils locally and across the country, we are modernising the way we deliver visitor information services, moving to a more digitally-focused service which is in line with our long-term visitor economy strategy for the borough.
Our visitor information services, along with many of those used by Chesterfield residents, were previously delivered from the Visitor Information Centre in Rykneld Square.
Following Cabinet approval for the service transformation proposals – which took into account the views we received as part of the Budget Conversation and the petition process – the Visitor Information Centre closed on 27 April 2024.
All the services which people previously accessed from the centre are still available, either from other council bases, through digital platforms or from our local partner agencies.
