Update on 'vital' new bus service to connect Whitchurch and Market Drayton with Wellington and hospital
It's hoped that a new "desperately needed" bus service connecting Whitchurch, Market Drayton and Wellington could begin operating within months.
Shropshire Council has announced that it is working with its Shropshire Bus Enhanced Partnership to "finalise plans" for the new service, which it hopes can be introduced in the late summer or early autumn.
The scheme is part of the council's ambitions to improve bus services and facilities in northeast Shropshire and would improve access for residents to the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
The authority said it would be funded from the its most recent allocation of Government bus service improvement funding for the year 2025/26.
The new bus service would run between Whitchurch, Market Drayton, the Princess Royal Hospital and Wellington bus station.
