Shrewsbury town centre roadworks completed ahead of schedule

Shrewsbury town centre will be open as normal today after works in Shoplatch were completed ahead of schedule.

Drainage and gas works at Mardol House, which is set to be accommodation for students attending University Centre Shrewsbury, have been completed ahead of schedule.

Shoplatch was closed to traffic last Sunday while the work was carried out – and a second closure had been planned for this Sunday to complete the work.

However, contractors Willmot Dixon successfully completed the work in one day, meaning there is no longer a need to close Shoplatch this Sunday.

Meanwhile, people are reminded that under a new Sunday parking offer they can ‘pay £1 and park all day’ in Shrewsbury’s long-stay car parks, or pay £1 for the maximum stay period in short stay car parks
