Transport is a central part of everyday life. It influences and impacts on where we work, go to school or college, receive health care, go shopping or go out in our leisure time.
Effective transport planning ensures that there is a local transport infrastructure in place, working to meet the needs of the local community and minimise the impact on the environment.
Local Transport Plan
A key transport planning document is the Local Transport Plan; to find out more about this document, follow the link on this page. The most recent plan covering the period 2006-2011 was submitted at the end of March 2006 - more information about this document can be found by following the link on this page.
Shropshire Council published a progress report outlining the work that we carried out towards achieving our Local Transport Plan aims and objectives in 2008. Follow the link to 'Local Transport Plan' to read this document.
North West Relief Road
In February 2009 the West Midlands Regional Assembly (WMRA) submitted a programme of its prioritised transport projects to the Department for Transport (DfT). That programme included construction of the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road starting in 2014.
The Government has now announced that it supports the West Midlands transport plans which include the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road.
