Telford & Wrekin Council has launched a plan it says will make Oakengates more attractive and bring more people to the town centre - but some businesses and residents in the town vehemently disagree, objecting to the proposals.
A petition against the plans is available to sign in shops around Oakengates.
Councillor Stuart Parr for Hadley and Leegomery said:"Telford & Wrekin Council want to demolish shops in Oakengates to create more space outside the theatre and take away the first floor storage areas from the shops that remain to turn into flats. Under the planning application, some physical obstacles between Telford Theatre, Limes Walk – and the main car park – and Market Street, will be removed.
