In a bid to help visitors to Chipping Sodbury find locations that do Cash Back or have Internal Cash Machines, the Chipping Sodbury Chamber of Commerce has published a helpful map showing where you can get cash.
With the help of Cllr Rob Creer and Sodbury Town Council you will find the map posted in the notice board by the Tourist Information Centre, and in many of the retailers in town.
We hope to update this as more locations provide this facility.
Andrew Webb (joint Chamber Chair along with Michelle and Rich) said: “We hope this map will help ease the problems visitors are having getting cash when they visit the town since the Banks withdrew all of their machines. However we will continue to work to get a 24hr access machine installed back into the town.”
Pictured are Rich McD, Rob Creer and Michelle Baden-Daintree.

Chipping Sodbury Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the Launch of the 2019 Calendar, going back to our favourite "Then and Now" format.
It's available from the Tourist Information Centre at a cost of £6.50 each, or two for £12. Other outlets in the town will be stocking it on the run up to Christmas.
The Calendar contains "Then" photos from Murray Dowding, 165 Signals Company Archive and other images from private collections with the "Now" from local photographer Rich McD. The descriptions for each page are by local historian Jim Elsworth.
Rich McD says "I had great fun this year working with Jim, choosing photos with lots of people in and historical importance, then trying to work out where they were taken from, we really hope everyone will enjoy the Calendar".
Funds raised by the Calendar are put back into the Chamber for the good of the town.
We would like to thank all our calendar sponsors and Ange from the Boundary magazine without whom the calendar would not be possible.
A new team has stepped up to run the Chipping Sodbury Chamber of Commerce for 2018.
The new management team consisting of three Executive members, local business man Andrew Webb of Webb Associates, renowned local Photographer Rich McD and private client lawyer Michelle Baden-Daintree from Simpson Solicitors have been elected by fellow members to run the chamber in the year that will see the first ever Gromit stationed in the town.
Andrew, Rich and Michelle share a vision to bring the local community of business owners together to capitalise on the expected trade and footfall for the market town during the coming year. They will rely on support from current active chamber members including Jo Cox who remains heavily involved with the Gromit, having recently stepped down formally as chair.
Michelle says “I am really excited to be working closely with Andrew and Rich over the next twelve months we have lots of plans to raise the profile of the town and are delighted to be spearheading the campaign whereby local businesses, organisations and individuals from the community have all come together to contribute towards securing the town’s first Gromit”.
The Chamber of Commerce can be an excellent platform on which to base your efforts to reach potential new clients and find new business leads. In addition to new leads you can hope to benefit from perks and benefits. If you are interested in joining the chamber then please email admin@sodburychamber.co.uk.
