TOURISTS will have a greater understanding of Porthmadog than ever before thanks to a new initiative.

Porthmadog Town Centre Partnership has been working tirelessly over recent months to produce a pocket map of the area which will be a useful tool for visitors and residents alike.

Lynda Roberts, chair of the partnership said: “The partnership draws together businesses in Porthmadog with the aim of creating a prosperous and attractive town.”

Members of the partnership will be distributing the maps to businesses in Porthmadog over the coming weeks so that they can be shared with visitors.

The Porthmadog Town Centre Partnership has been supported by the Welsh Government, Gwynedd Council, Porthmadog Town Council and the Porthmadog Chamber of Trade.
