Shrewsbury Conference 2004

For the fifth year running Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council held The Shrewsbury Conference – a chance for local people to air their views.

Peter Nutting, leader of Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council said:

"The Shrewsbury Conference is an effective way of getting your views across to the council.  We will also be taking a look at what the council has been up to during the year and what our future plans are.  People who come to the event really do have an opportunity to influence the way the council tackles big issues, come and have your say and shape the debate."

Some of the issues people might want to raise:

• Council priorities
• Tourism (changes to the Tourism Information Centre)
• Modernising Public Amenities
• Concessionary travel arrangements
• Development of new Housing (where should new housing go?)
• New Theatre
• Changes to Rowley's House
• Town Centre Car Parking
• Review of CCTV
• New planning framework
