North West Relief Road Meeting at Shire Hall, 31st October

Dear Blogger,

Messaage from Nick Bardsley, Shropshire Councillor for Ruyton XI Towns and Baschurch

There are many local residents who oppose the building of the new road – but there are many too who would like the project to go ahead. Ruyton XI Towns Parish Council has voted to support the proposal.

I think it's very important that the voice of the supporters is heard, so I will be at the Planning Committee next week and have registered to speak. I will be making sure that the views of supporters and the Parish Council are taken into consideration at the Committee.

Kind regards

Nick Bardsley

Shropshire Councillor for Ruyton and Baschurch

At long last it is about to happen.  We have had years of discussion and debate about the rights and wrongs of this project, but now the government have said they will pay for it, so we are on our way, but  are now left with one more hurdle to climb, getting an approval from the Shropshire Northern Planning Committee, who meet to discuss and, hopefully, approve the project on

Tuesday, October 31st at 2.00 pm in the Shirehall Shrewsbury
