The report was commissioned after the deaths of two young men in the river earlier this year, and multiple river rescues.
Shropshire Council recently published a river safety report in which a number of suggestions for fresh measures were made, including"Amsterdam-style" open-air urinals, more ladders, a review of lighting and more signage.
"The other aspect that we will be considering is a water safety action group. Not all of these things [safety measures suggested in the report] are within the remit or gift of Shropshire Council to deliver." Councillor Julia Buckley read an email from Shrewsbury Town Council leader Alan Mosley, in which he said the town's authority welcomes the report. He also said the town council will be establishing its own river safety working group which will include family members of river tragedy victims and representation from the Make Our River Safer group.
