Stay away! We don't want you here

Summer is on the way, which means that people are looking for attractive destinations for a day out or a longer stay.
Obviously, Boston is the place we would like some of them to visit - to boost the estimated tourism income of more than £41 million of which £32 million comes from day visitors .
So, we donned our lederhosen and hiking boots and headed for the section called "Visiting Boston" on the Borough Council's website.
We'll not bore you with a click by click account of our visit ....
But here are some of the low lights.
Until last Friday afternoon, the list of "Big events this month" was still from April.
That feature has now ben replaced by something called "What's New" - which features the news that postcards of the W B Thomas paintings of Boston are now on sale, and the Boston Pocket Guide, which is scarcely "new," having been published in August last year - nine months ago.
A Tourist Information Centre that is open from 10.30 am - 3.30pm Wednesday to Saturday might as well not bother.
A link boasts that the Haven Gallery now appears on the web guide TripAdvisor. Unfortunately, the review says: "This place is so disappointing. Although there is quite a lot of exhibition space, the potential isn't realised, and most of the displays fall into the local "arty farty" category. Opening hours are not good - but with free admission the price is about right." Do we really want to boast about this?
The "Attractions in the area" section of the borough's website is dominated by a photo of the Masonic Hall on Main Ridge. Not only is it not open to the public - but wouldn't it have been a grand idea to remove the blue wheelie bins that detract from whatever attraction the building might hold. As for the mention of St Botolph's Church, we are told "It’s affectionately known as “the Stump” by Bostonians' (sic) since before time can remember why." Whatever happened to English? Mercifully after a handful of entries the page appears to peter out entirely.
Click on the section labelled "How to Get Here" and you will find .... no information at all!
Click on the section labelled "The Great Outdoors " and you are told "You are not authorised to view this resource. You need to login. "
What's on/event feature happenings in Sleaford, Kings Lynn and Alford and an exhaustive list of RSPB Wash cruises.
At this point, our patience became exhausted.
The whole section is like a maze. It is often out of date , unhelpful, chaotic, poorly written.
And why there is a separate hard-to-navigate events section is anyone's guess.
All in all it seems as though information for visitors is designed more to discourage people from visiting the town rather than the reverse.
