Residents are being invited to have their say on the future of transport in their area.

Shropshire Council is consulting on its draft Local Transport Plan (LTP), which will guide transport policies and investment across the county from 2027 to 2037.

The plan covers all modes of transport, from cars and buses to walking, cycling, and HGVs, as well as digital solutions to reduce the need for travel.

Rob Wilson, Shropshire Council’s cabinet member for transport and regeneration, said: "Transport plays a vital role in all our lives.

"Whether travelling to work, attending school or college, accessing healthcare, visiting family and friends, receiving deliveries or enjoying leisure activities, transport plays a part in almost everything we do each day."

He emphasised the importance of community input before the plan is finalised.

He said: "It’s important that we continue to hear a wide range of views before the draft plan is finalised next year."

The consultation is open until November 16, and people can take part by completing an online questionnaire or attending one of seven in-person events.

An event will be held in Ludlow on Tuesday, November 3, from 2pm to 7pm at Ludlow Assembly Rooms.
