Dear Town Centre Business/Resident, Whilst we may be just in to autumn, the festive season is fast approaching and we have two major events planned for Shrewsbury Town Centre in November and December, namely the Christmas Lights Switch On & Carols in the Square. To allow these events to take place safely, there will be road closures in place which may affect vehicle access to your business/property. We will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum and would appreciate your co-operation during this time. On Wednesday 15th November between 5pm-7.30pm, Shrewsbury’s Christmas Cracker returns to mark the start of late-night shopping and the launch of the town’s new Christmas lights. The switch-on is being organised by Shrewsbury Town Council, in partnership with Shrewsbury Shopping Centres, Shropshire Council and Shrewsbury BID, which is sponsoring the event. High Street, Wyle Cop (NW direction) & Princess Street will be closed to vehicles from 4.30pm until 7.30pm. The Square will be closed from 8am until 7.30pm. On Wednesday 13th December, the ever-popular Carols in the Square concert, which is broadcast live on BBC Radio Shropshire, returns to Shrewsbury. High Street, Wyle Cop (NW direction) & Princess Street will be closed to vehicles from 5.30pm until 7.30pm. The Square will be closed from 8am until 7.30pm. We would advise that any business deliveries due on either date are rescheduled wherever possible, however, every effort will be made to allow drop-off access only through the closures to minimise disruption. If you have cause to contact the Emergency Services during any of the road closures please inform Darren Woods on 07976 020283 who will ensure that emergency vehicles are moved through swiftly, and without delay. If you have any enquiries about the management of either event please contact Shrewsbury Town Council’s Head of Operational Logistics, Rob Plimmer, on 07976 020817. For general enquiries please call the Town Council switchboard on 01743 281010. Thank you for helping us to make these two events safe and enjoyable for all.
