The success of Shrewsbury as a destination - and the challenges of getting to the “next level” - has been highlighted to the Government during a meeting at 10 Downing Street.
Sales in Shrewsbury have increased by 9% compared to last year, significantly higher than the UK town and city centre average – with the market hall reporting one of the busiest summers it has ever had.
People are being advised to use park and ride services when visiting Shrewsbury Food Festival on Saturday, with car parks in the town centre expected to be busy.
New figures show that customer spending in Shrewsbury town centre in the run-up to Christmas increased at a “substantially higher” rate than the rest of the country.
Shop local and support your independent businesses in the run-up to Christmas - that’s the message from Shrewsbury BID ahead of Small Business Saturday.
