Parking restrictions considered for town

Shropshire Council is proposing installing a zebra crossing and speed hump in Unicorn Road

Parking restrictions and traffic calming measures could be introduced on two roads in Oswestry.

Shropshire Council is proposing restrictions from Cabin Lane to the community centre. It will allow "the free movement of vehicles improving the amenities and road safety of all road users," the plans said.

Meanwhile, a zebra crossing and raised table [speed hump] is planned in Unicorn Road. A plan illustrating the proposals can be seen at Oswestry Library in Arthur Street.

Councillors are to discuss the proposals at a meeting on Wednesday.

The parking restrictions from 07:30 to 09:30 and 14:30 to 16:30 will cover the junction with Harlech Road to its junction with the roundabout outside Cabin Church Lane and the community centre, the council said.
