Salop Leisure, which is headquartered at Emstrey, plays its part in ensuring that the town looks its best in the run up to the town’s famous flower show on August 9 and 10.

"Over many years, we have supported the efforts of Shrewsbury Town Council's parks department to maintain the high standards in our beautiful town," said company chairman Tony Bywater, a member of the Shrewsbury in Bloom Committee.

"I pass the Weeping Cross traffic island on my way to work every morning and the floral displays are better than ever and a great credit to the town. It’s a big summer for Shrewsbury with the Britain in Bloom judges having visited on July 23 and the flower show coming up. We all need to make a special effort to ensure that our Town of Flowers is looking its best.”
