Title of Scheme |
St Julians and Wyle Cop Enhancement Scheme |
|
Description
|
Further to the recent redevelopment of the St Julian's Friars area of Shrewsbury town centre, and following extensive consultation with local residents, councillors, businesses and stakeholders, Shropshire Council has prepared a road enhancement scheme for St Julian's Friars and Wyle Cop. The scheme, as approved at the October 2013 Central Planning Committee, will tackle maintenance problems, and high quality materials will be used for an attractive finish to enhance the streetscape. The scheme will also encourage lower vehicle speeds, and provide improved pedestrian facilities and improved loading for businesses. The proposed restrictions included in this order are required to support the enhancement scheme, and to ensure the safe management of traffic in this area of the town. |
