Residents living on the outskirts of Ludlow have raised concerns about parking problems linked to festivals at the castle.

According to minutes from a recent Ludford Parish Council meeting, councillors heard that illegally or inconsiderately parked vehicles remain an ongoing issue in Park Road, with recent events at the castle creating additional pressure.

Councillor Imogen Liddle arranged for temporary notices to be installed while the festivals are taking place.

The parish council also plans to contact Shropshire Council's new highways manager to seek help managing parking and ensuring emergency vehicles can access the area.

Live at Ludlow Castle, which attracts thousands of music fans each summer, provides dedicated event parking.
