20mph limit considered for Oswestry town centre

A meeting of the town council on Wednesday is due to discuss issues associated with the temporary traffic measures brought in during the pandemic.

Shropshire Council has outlined some interim proposals to go along with the one-way system introduced to allow for more social distancing.

They include a proposal for a 20mph speed limit on Church Street, through on to Willow Street and including Cross Street.

The are also plans to amend parking arrangements, which include a full 18-metre long 24-hour disabled bay outside Boots, a 24-hour loading bay from the disabled bay all the way through to the boundary with the Fox Inn and the getting rid of the existing loading bay at the southern end on the east side.

This would become no waiting and no loading at any time area along with all other areas of Church Street.
