Senior reporter for the Shropshire Star focusing on Shrewsbury.
A lack of hotels is "negatively impacting" a town centre, it has been claimed after a controversial plan for an 83-bed Travelodge received public backing.The proposal for a budget hotel and retail complex in Shrewsbury's Barker Street has sparked backlash on multiple occasions, with reasons including its proximity to the Grade II-listed Rowley's House and Mansion - one of the town's most important historic buildings.
"The benefits that tourism brings to the town is hugely important for the daytime and nigh time economy which is necessary if local businesses are going to continue to trade and grow. "The proximity to Rowley's House is positive because new public open space and seating/landscaping between the new hotel and Rowley's House, along with the new passageway proposed from Hill's Lane to Barker Street, will encourage more people to this part of the town to see Rowley's House."
She added:"The proposed location for the hotel seems ideal, close to already established coffee shops/cafe's, bars and restaurants so customers can use these facilities as non seem to be provided within the hotel itself. Toby Shaw said:"As a long term resident of Shrewsbury I write in support of the planning application for the development of the proposed new Travelodge Hotel in Barker Street.
