Residents in Shropshire are being asked to have their say on the future of transport in the county.

There will also be online webinars on Tuesday, October 20 (midday to 1pm) and Monday, November 2.
After the consultation closes on November 16, Shropshire Council will analyse feedback received and review it alongside other evidence. That will shape the final plan, which is expected to be adopted in the spring.
“Transport plays a vital role in all our lives,” said a Shropshire Council spokesperson.
“Safe, reliable and affordable ways to get around are essential to the success and wellbeing of Shropshire’s communities.
“The Shropshire Local Transport Plan is our long-term strategy for transport and highways across the county.
“We need a transport system that connects people to opportunities, supports economic growth, improves health and wellbeing, reduces carbon emissions and helps protect the environment that makes Shropshire such a special place to live, work and visit.
“The draft plan sets out the vision, objectives and priorities that will guide future transport policies, investment and decision-making between 2027 and 2037.”
