Councillors wanted to re-state their case for the cancellation of plans, which received more than 4,000 objections.
Shrewsbury Town Council has written to a new government transport boss, pleading for the town's controversial North West Relief Road to be cancelled to save county taxpayers from a "massive financial burden".An aerial view of the proposed Shrewsbury North West Relief Road
Councillor Alan Mosley, leader of the town council, said: “We have taken the opportunity to write to the previous Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, with our strong objections to the project. With a change of personnel in the Department for Transport, we don’t want to see our objections lost in the handover.“There is a groundswell of public opposition to these proposals, and we need to keep fighting to be heard.
“In my opinion, Shropshire Council and the Government need to accept reality that no more public money should be wasted on this project and start investing in cheaper transport solutions that fit with their stated policies of carbon reduction.”
