Councillor Pete Addis - Hayton Ward, Ludlow Town Council

It’s absurd that Shropshire Council think raising parking charges is the way forward, small business are already struggling enough.

In the last few years M&S and Sainsburys have been built on outskirts of our town offering free parking, but SC’s idea is to increase parking charges again and deter people from town centre.

What did they tell me last time.. encourage people to use park and ride… oh, they’ve scrapped that, although they will point out that the town bus routes have been redirected to cover that.

Still, why would you park your car up there to go into town when you’re basically already at M&S.

If we want small independents to compete with the big boys we need to help them.

Reduce cost NOT increase

This years first youth festival was well attended and recieved mostly positive feedback.

On Wednesday the services committee approved the event happening again next year, but on a weekend instead to try and accommodate more families.

We need to actively plan ahead and we would be keen to hear what changes you the people would like to see and any added activities to potentially include. Let me know. 👍

The installation of the new Linney zipwire is now complete🌟

This brilliant piece of play equipment has been installed by Proludic, following approval from the Services Committee in June. It replaces the previous wooden zipwire, which had served local families well for an incredible 13 years.

The zipwire is a popular, high‑energy favourite, and we’re delighted to bring an improved, long‑lasting version to the Linney as part of looking after Ludlow’s future.

We hope you enjoy🎉
