A ROADSHOW event to ask the people of Oswestry about Shropshire Council's latest cycling and walking proposals will head to town next week.

The Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) aims to improve the safety, comfort and attractiveness of walking and cycling in the county.

There are a number of proposals in Oswestry and the surrounding area.

The roadshow for people to have their say on the plans will take place on Oswestry Market on Wednesday, May 10 between 9.30am and 12pm.

Ian Nellins, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for climate change, environment and transport, said: “The aim of this new plan is to deliver a fantastic network of cycling and walking routes and measures across Shropshire.

“We really do need people to share their views and tell us what they think about our draft plan. Public feedback, particularly about the proposed routes and suggestions for each area, will help ensure that our proposals reflect what local communities want and need, so we really do need people to tell us what they think.”

Following the consultation an updated plan will be presented to Shropshire Council’s Cabinet for consideration.

Once funding is secured for specific schemes these will then be subject to local consultation with councillors and the public before progressing to implementation.
