About 50 people attended a public meeting to help shape the future of their town.
Residents of Market Drayton were given a chance to have their say on what matters most to them in the town over the next 10 years.
The meeting, at the Festival Drayton Centre heard presentations from Shropshire Council and the Community Council for Shropshire.
Town mayor Roy Aldcroft said the next phase of the project would be to set up a steering group of volunteers to formulate the plan.
It will consider topics like transport, environment, housing, leisure and education.
Councillor Aldcroft said results from the meeting were now being analysed.
He said: "It was basically a workshop for residents to consider things like housing, the environment and education in Market Drayton over the next 10 years."
