The cases for and against building the North West Relief Road are outlined below, on the day the decision was due to be taken.
Links between the north and west of Shrewsbury are presently very poor, according to Shropshire Council.
“Extra traffic on the distributor ring road and the outer bypass adds to the congestion on these important routes and reduces the resilience of the network. Some traffic uses the network of small lanes to the northwest of Shrewsbury as rat-runs to avoid the town altogether.” The council says the NWRR will provide a “new, high standard, direct route” between the north and west of Shrewsbury, offering big time savings for road users.
“It will give Shrewsbury a more efficient and resilient road network and support the town’s continued growth and economic development.”Bad for the environment and bad for Shrewsbury – that's the argument from those opposing the North West Relief Road. Ahead of the crunch decision, Lib Dem, Labour, and Green Party Councillors all called for a re-think, while campaigners described the plan as a"Halloween horror" and pledged to continue the battle in the courts if necessary.Liberal Democrat Councillor Rob Wilson said the council's focus – and funding – should be elsewhere.
