A consultation has opened into the introduction of parking restrictions around the Wenlock Road area of Shrewsbury.

If the proposal goes ahead, restrictions would be put in place on roads close to Mereside Primary School and Shrewsbury College on London Road.

The consultation states the changes would "help avoid danger by providing safer parking and improved visibility, improved flow of traffic, and access for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists wishing to use the roads and improve the amenities of the area".

Documents relating to the consultation, which is open until April 2, can be viewed at Shrewsbury Library during regular opening hours.
