Landmarks missing from city tourist map

A new tourist map of Coventry has several locations within the city missing from it, according to a city ambassador

The omissions were highlighted to BBC Coventry and Warwickshire by Brian Pollard whose job it is to help guide visitors when they are in the city.

Landmarks such as the city's Godiva clock, West Orchards shopping centre and the Council House are all missing from the map, along with one of the city's famous three spires, he said.

Visitors are also directed to the city's Canal Basin as a place to shop and eat - which has very few amenities.

Jacqui Ibbotson, Great Place Project Manager of the Coventry City of Culture Trust, said "difficult choices" had to be made about what was included in the map, which was produced in conjunction with the city council and funded by the Arts Council.

"Corrections that have come in to us are being corrected," she said, "and the maps will be re-issued where we've made errors."

Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.
