See attached poster and please post it on a door, fence, wall, gate or even a noticeboard near you - It will be fine in black & white and it would be a good idea to highlight the

To all Town and Parish Councils
Shrewsbury North West Relief Road – 2017 Consultation
Since the last North West Relief Road (NWRR) consultation in 2010, Shropshire Council has been able to secure the delivery of the Oxon Link Road formerly part of the NWRR. This will connect Churncote Roundabout on the A5 bypass with the Holyhead Road near the Shelton Water tower and facilitate delivery of the Shrewsbury West Sustainable Urban Extension development, north of the Welshpool Road.
As you may be aware the Council is now preparing to submit a funding bid to take the remaining sections of the NWRR forward and is therefore taking the opportunity to remind stakeholders and Shropshire residents about the scheme and to get a measure of current opinion.
The proposed alignment has not changed since 2010. The proposals include mitigation measures to address concerns raise previously about the environment impact of the road. The proposed road would ease traffic on some of the most used roads in Shrewsbury town centre and in the rural communities to the north of the town, making the town more attractive to live in, to work in and to visit. It would also support the development of the town as a growth point. Taking advantage of the reduced traffic within the town centre it will be possible to give more space and priority to pedestrians and cyclists and deliver further elements of the Integrated Transport Package the aspirations of the Big Town Plan.
Details of the public consultation are set out below and a preview of the exhibition material for County Councillors and Parish and Town Councillors will be held at the Shirehall on Tuesday 17th October 2017 from 10am to 1pm. If you are unable to attend the preview or one of the other exhibitions venues then please access the consultation material on the Council website www.shropshire.gov.uk/get-involved from the 17th October.
The details of the public exhibitions are as follows:
- Shirehall, Shrewsbury Tuesday 17th October 5pm until 8pm
- The Darwin Shopping Centre, Shrewsbury Friday 20th October , 2pm to 5pm
- The Darwin Shopping Centre, Shrewsbury Saturday 21st October , 10am to 5pm
- The Grange Youth Centre, Mount Pleasant Road, Shrewsbury Monday 23rd October 2pm to 8pm
- Baschurch Village Hall, Eyton Lane Tuesday 24th October 4pm until 8pm
- Oxon Church Community Hall, Welshpool Road, Shrewsbury Wednesday 25th October 2pm to 8pm
The NWRR will be a major scheme for Shropshire but I appreciate that it will be more relevant for some parish and towns councils than others. If appropriate please do make use of the attached poster to publicise the consultation locally.
We need your views so we'd like to encourage you to visit one of our exhibitions or our website, read the information available and let us know what you think.
