Stop the Shropshire Chainsaw Massacre! 🚗🌳🪓 Brand new council plans show a 40% increase in the amount of land affected. More veteran trees axed! More access roads built! More CO2 emissions! More Shropshire ££! 😭 Object here:

The River Severn in Shrewsbury will be formally declared as a Bathing Water Site. Excellent news for our community. Regular monitoring will ensure bathers have up-to-date information about the quality of the water and enable action to be taken if standards are not being met. 🏊‍♂️

Did you know... When Hereford cancelled their bypass, £27m of Marches LEP money was freed up to fund projects across the region including Oswestry (infrastructure works) and Shrewsbury (Riverside/Tannery health centre)? It also created 1700 new jobs...

Have you objected to the North West Road in #Shrewsbury yet? It's costing UK taxpayers £54m & adding 70k tonnes of CO2 to our carbon budget 😱 Over 3000 people have made their voices heard so far. Join them at 💪💚

Great to hear @thetreehunter on @BBCr4today talking about the damage the North West Relief Road will do to #Shrewsbury 's green space, including to the ancient Darwin's Oak. Please cancel this ecological disaster @DC4NS @lezley4tern cc @cpreshropshire @joanne_bbc @DRobertson_Star
