AN ATTRACTION in North Somerset has signed up to support a scheme helping servicemen in the area.

The Heroes Welcome initiative gives discounts and other benefits to serving or former members of the armed forces.

Puxton Park is backing the scheme, and is offering extra hospitality and a 50 per cent discount to force personnel and their families.

Weston scheme co-ordinator Philip Judd said: “I am absolutely delighted to have Puxton Park on board and obviously we are always looking for more companies locally to get involved in this extremely worthwhile scheme.

“I am now going to be developing the scheme further and rolling it out across the whole of North Somerset.”
