Shrewsbury Connect2
Shrewsbury has an almost continuous riverside path along the Severn as the river loops around the town except for the section between Welsh Bridge and the station. This scheme aims to complete this riverside promenade by making a much better passage under the mainline railway at Castle Foregate. It will also complete a circuit of the town by forging a link along the remaining central line of the former canal towpath. Additionally, it will give a good route into town for the residents of the Mount Pleasant area. This network will be sufficiently fine-grained and direct that many local journeys will now be most easily achieved by foot or bicycle.

A crucial element of the Shrewsbury scheme is the improvement of facilities for pedestrians and cyclists in the Welsh Bridge area. Shropshire Council is currently consulting widely on their proposals for this strategic junction. To view the proposals and to comment, please follow this link:

"This is a great honour; I love the thought of becoming part of the landscape alongside Dick Wagstaff and the great Richard Burton. I'm hoping that my sculpture might be able to persuade Burton's sculpture to quote some poetry of an evening, or at least a bit of War of the Worlds." Rob Brydon
"Making it easy for millions of people to change their world by walking and cycling to the local places they want to go"
