The Shrewsbury Big Town Plan, which would involve several large changes to the town centre including a riverside plaza, proposes to have a 'multimodal transport hub', something campaigners say is 'unsafe'.
Bus campaigners have claimed plans to include a 'transport hub' in a major town centre revamp are "unsafe".The Shrewsbury Big Town Plan, which would involve several large changes to the town centre including a riverside plaza, proposes to have a"multimodal transport hub".
The group say that foremost among their concerns is the small size of the station forecourt, which"can be thronged" with arriving train passengers which could constitute a safety hazard in the presence of buses. Les Lumsdon from Bus Users Shropshire said:"The rationale for the Big Town Plan is for Shrewsbury to become a better, more attractive place to visit. Pushing bus passengers onto dark and damp, pigeon-infested streets is the exact opposite of what we need to do to entice residents and visitors onto the enhanced bus services our council says it wants.
Councillor Ed Potter, Shropshire Council’s former representative on the Shrewsbury Big Town Plan Partnership, said previously: “Getting movement of people right is absolutely vital to Shrewsbury’s future, and follows on from the Masterplan Vision which generated so much useful discussion and debate last year.
