Application for the designation of Shifnal Town/Parish as a neighbourhood area
Proposal
Notice is given that Shropshire Council has received from Shifnal Town Council an application under Regulation 5 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 for the Council to designate the area comprising the civil parish of Shifnal as a “neighbourhood area” within the meaning of section 61 G of the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act (see explanatory note below).
A copy of the application and a map of the area can be viewed below, or at Shirehall, Abbey Foregate Shrewsbury during weekdays 8.30 am to 5pm or at the Town Council office in Shifnal.
Note:
Following the Introduction of the Localism Act 2011, the purpose of designating a neighbourhood area is for a neighbourhood plan to then be prepared for that area. Shifnal Town Council is in the earliest stages of considering a neighbourhood plan and this application seeks now to formalise the process.
How to get involved
Representations on whether the civil parish of Shifnal is an appropriate neighbourhood area may be made to Shropshire Council no later than 5pm on Monday 28 May 2014, using the details on this page.

Cosford – 30mph Speed Limit
The introduction of a 30mph speed limit along Worcester Road West aims to improve the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users travelling between Cosford Train station and the RAF Cosford museum. The speed limit changes will facilitate the introduction of a 2m wide footway that is to be installed on the south side of the carriageway, as currently pedestrians walk along the verge. With the reduced speed limit, cyclists will be able to cycle on the carriageway more safely. The proposals are being implemented following assessment of vehicle speed data and pedestrian movements between the train station and the museum, both during term time and in the school holidays. The proposals are being implemented along Neachley Lane and Long Lane in order maintain a continuous 30mph speed limit in the vicinity of the museum and air base.
