A CASH-STRAPPED council is to let English Heritage take over a tourist information centre in Helmsley.
Ryedale District Council is trying to make savings to balance its budget. Under proposals to be discussed next week, the centre would be moved to a location within Helmsley Castle.
Jeremy Reed, head of visitor operations for English Heritage, said: "We are very excited to be able to offer a home for the centre within the castle. Positioned close to the town's main visitor car park, the castle is easy to find and offers good facilities and access for all.
"We look forward to working closely with Ryedale District Council to safeguard this valuable service for the benefit of all the area's tourist attractions."
