Pride Hill in Shrewsbury is about to get a facelift

The Pride Hill work is expected to last around six months.

Shropshire Council, which is behind the plan, says the work will start on Monday, April 30.

It will include resurfacing and replacing benches and other street furniture.

The council says access to properties will be maintained at all times.

Steve Davenport, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “As the primary shopping street in the town centre, the physical upgrading of Pride Hill is key to improving the public and urban realm for Shrewsbury.

"We thank people for their understanding while this important work is carried out, and they will see a significant and notable improvement once the work is complete.”

The work is the start of a programme of enhancement works in Shrewsbury town centre being carried out as part of the multi-million pound Shrewsbury Integrated Transport Package (SITP).
