We knew it already; but #Shrewsbury has been named one of the happiest places to live in Britain by the Guardian 🥰

Walk down a footpath on residential street, and it’s always the slabs on nearest the kerb that are more cracked and broken…

8 weeks to go until the Polling Stations open in a pivotal election for Shropshire.

Afterwards it will be a Lib Dem run council or *another* wasteful Conservative administration.

Who will you vote for?

After being ignored by the Council, messages to the Chief Exec, Leader and Portfolio Holder going unanswered, I took the state of Shelton Road to Full Council today.

They have confirmed that it will be resurfaced early in new financial year. Still too long, but I hope this will put an end to it.

Sometimes people ask why I advocate for greater investment in active travel.

One massive reason is that I was lucky enough to go to Kesgrave High School. I experienced transport independence as a child. And I want that for my children, and others.

Shropshire Council wants to spend over £200m on a 4 mile “relief” road that won’t relieve traffic.

I spotted this comedy gem last time I went that way.

Great to spot this in #Shrewsbury Library. 🥰

Highly recommended for all current (and potential future) #Shropshire Councillors

I'm back from a restful break.

If there's anything I can assist with email is normally best: rob.wilson@shropshire.gov.uk

Less than 4 months until Shropshire's elections, it has been an honour to serve Copthorne, I will be standing again.

I’m switching off for a Christmas break. If you need any help or assistance please direct your query to Shropshire Council/Shrewsbury Town Council. See you in the new year!

Hi @pixarpost.com

1. Pixar has never made a Christmas movie 🎄

2. Iceland has a mythology of 13 Yule Lads who arrive on the 13 days before Christmas and cause mischief 🇮🇸

Would love to see it! #pixar #christmasmovie #iceland #yulelads #Jólasveinar

With Tory-run Shropshire Council on the verge of bankruptcy… (HT @brenttoderian.bsky.social)

Really pleased to see the Shrewsbury Movement & Public Space strategy developed by team at PJA supported unanimously by all parties & none at Shropshire Council this morning.

It will now be a material consideration in planning.

That is appalling. The “cycling”layer of google maps is particularly explanatory of Shropshire Council’s attitude. 🥺

I found a good use for them today 👍
