THE SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL (PROHIBITION AND RESTRICTION OF WAITING AND PARKING PLACES) (CONSOLIDATION) ORDER 2009 (AMENDMENT) ORDER

Statement of Reasons

Shropshire Council wishes to ensure that sufficient parking spaces are available to visitors who most need to use them at all times of the week.

It aims to achieve this by discouraging drivers of vehicles from unnecessarily entering congested parts of towns throughout the County. For instance, the Shrewsbury River Loop.

It is also intended to encourage use of more distant, quieter car parks or preferably, alternative modes of transportation such as buses, park and ride or active modes such as cycling and walking.
