Those in favour think the new road in Shropshire will ease congestion but many are opposed to it.
Some people living in villages north-west of Shrewsbury have said they feel “relief” that plans for a new road are progressing.
Although the scheme has divided opinion among locals, Shropshire Council said the new North West Relief Road would help reduce congestion in places like Ruyton-XI-Towns.Councillor Trevor Allison believes the new route will stop HGVs travelling through Ruyton-XI-Towns Councillor Trevor Allison from Ruyton-XI-Towns Parish Council said: “It will remove some of the long distance HGVs that don’t need to come this way, probably just relying on their satnav.”“Parents are reluctant to let their children walk along Church Street because of the number of vehicles going along it.”Another of those in favour of the new road is Yoland Brown who has run the Brownhill House bed and breakfast since the 1970s.“The sooner they get on with it the better," she said.
Claire Kirby, who is also opposed to the new road, said she believes the council should focus on providing more bus services and cycle routes. “The only way you’re going to solve congestion in the town is to take traffic off the roads rather than building a new road which is going to put more traffic on the roads,” she said.
