Shropshire Council has agreed to borrow £3.7 million to match-fund £18m of government levelling up money for a major Shrewsbury town centre redevelopment project.

Addressing the full meeting of Shropshire Council on Thursday, Councillor Dean Carroll, the Conservative cabinet member for growth, regeneration and housing, said:"It is absolutely critical for the long-term place shaping and vitality of the town centre, that we can proceed swiftly and smoothly with this development.""It is very important we move ahead with this, both for Shrewsbury and the county as a whole.
The ambitions for the transformation of Riverside area will see the demolition of a number of existing buildings to allow for the redevelopment. Under the plans, a new leisure site would replace it, with intentions for it to host a cinema, along with a new multi-agency base or 'Shirehall', a 'transport hub', up to two hotels, offices and up to 270 homes.
