Shrewsbury river danger campaign urges safety along the Severn as nights draw in
People are being reminded to stay safe near the river in Shrewsbury when walking home – especially as the nights draw in during the autumn.
Shrewsbury River Safety Group has refreshed its campaign, with posters in venues across the town centre and videos shared on social media, to encourage people to avoid walking by the river after a night out.
Stephanie Mansell-Jones, of Shrewsbury BID, which is part of the river safety group, said it was important to keep reminding people about the dangers of the river.
She said: “The river safety group is made up of members of Team Shrewsbury and meets regularly to ensure actions are taken to continue to make the river safer.
“We work with venues in the town centre to share information about the importance of planning your route home and avoiding walking home along the river if at all possible.
