As a resident of Much Wenlock, the reaction to this is ridiculous! Seriously there are more important things to be worrying about in life…and as for Much Wenlock being the ‘Jewel of South Shropshire’… wake up and smell what you’re sovelling, I have never met so many arrogant people with a grossly inflated sense of self importance! I’m certain other areas of South Shropshire have a better claim to be a Jewel!

Customer would like to request an additional container for the new plastics collections. Many Thanks.

In a strange way, I really agree with ‘Van’, not so much with his harsh approach, but let’s put this in perspective here people. Across the Ocean thousands of people have just lost their homes and family members in a horrific natural disaster, and all these people can do is moan and groan about a development.

I’m all for conserving our heritage, and keeping places of natural beauty, beautiful…but come on, as a residents of Much Wenlock for many years, and also a consultant for local youth authority by far its no ‘Jewel’ of Shropshire. Under the surface of the black and white houses, Wenlock has a horrific youth drug problem. Which is only going to get worse, so while these people take time out to moan about bricks and mortar, maybe they should invest more time in really looking at the ticking time bomb that will have an adverse effect on the towns social integrity. So drop your placards shut your mouth and open your eyes a little bit wider to the real problems that your town faces, and then you will have something really to make a song and dance about.

I’ve heard about the pompous folks of wenlock. I think they need to have a good look round because wenlock is certainly no jewell. Get over yourselves people!

Another small town in a small county with a small mentality.

There’s not Much in Wenlock.

#8 What difference does that make BB?

I doubt if anyone who has protested had family stretching back to when many of those ancient houses were built and even if they had would it give them more rights unless of course they owned them?

The local reaction does seem somewhat extreme and will probably result in a half built, scaffolded structure lingering for ages whilst the developer appeals the decisions.
