Shrewsbury residents invited to attend Annual Town Meeting
Shrewsbury residents are invited to attend this year’s Annual Town Meeting which is being held next week.
The event takes place in the Lecture Theatre at the town’s Guildhall on Monday 16 May from 7pm and is open to residents who live within the council’s 17 wards.
The session provides an opportunity to raise questions on matters affecting the town of Shrewsbury and learn of the work undertaken by councillors over the last twelve months, including a report on the Council’s highly successful Young Shrewsbury initiatives.
There will also be presentations from key partners in the town including the Business Improvement District and the Police. The Shrewsbury-wide Community Enablement Team will also report on their work over the last year.
A further important session will discuss the future of a number of key services which are currently declared as being at risk following Shropshire Council’s recently determined Financial Strategy.
There will be plenty of opportunities for members of the public to ask questions, make contributions and raise any other matters not on the agenda.
Leader of the Council, Councillor Alan Mosley said: “The Town Council and its partners have much to be proud of following another year with many success stories, like our new services for young people. This meeting gives residents chances to have their say, give their advice and play their part in making further progress. It will be especially interesting to hear people’s views on how we can best protect and promote the very important local services which are seriously threatened by cuts in Shropshire Council’s budget. This represents the biggest challenge for us, but also brings great opportunities for the Town to become an even better place to live, work and visit.”
