New plans for walking and cycling routes

Shropshire Council’s draft cycling and walking plan for seven towns around the county is out to consultation until 16 June

It focuses on the towns of Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Bridgnorth, Market Drayton, Church Stretton, Ludlow and Whitchurch, and a list of proposals has been drawn up for each town – with schemes ranked in order of priority based on their effectiveness and deliverability.

The events will be held in each town to let people find out more, and ask questions.

On Tuesday the roadshow will be in Whitchurch between 9.30am and noon either outside on in the Civic Centre depending on the weather ,before going to Market Drayton Town Hall from 1.30pm - 5pm.

On Wednesday it will be at the Oswestry market between 9.30am and noon before heading to Bridgnorth to set up under the Town Hall.

Entertainment Square, Ludlow is the scene for the roadshow on Thursday morning before moving to Church Stretton, outside the Mid Counties Co-op in the afternoon. The roadshow finishes on Friday when it will be outside The Darwin shopping centre between 10am and 4pm.
