Shropshire Council is pledging to escalate concerns over developers failing to meet basic standards, and leaving housing estates without proper roads and pathways.
A group set up to work with the agricultural community to improve safety on Shropshire’s roads is making good progress in its work to improve education, guidance and training for all partners and agencies. The working group consists of Shropshire Council, the National Farmers Union, West Mercia Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner. It was set up last year to assist in reducing the concerns and complaints received by the council from residents and business about agricultural vehicles on the county’s roads. But, its aim is to provide support and guidance to those working in the agricultural sector and to ensure all agencies can work collectively to increase the skills and knowledge of staff to support the sector and address the concerns raised by residents.
