Mini roundabout to be built in new year

Work to build the roundabout, on a junction in Whitchurch, will begin in January

Work to build a mini roundabout at a junction in Whitchurch will start in the new year.

Councillor Tom Biggins, who represents Whitchurch North, said residents were frustrated by the "endless delay" in the work at the junction of Claypit Street, London Road and Brownlow Street.

The work must be carried out by Wain Homes, due to its Talbot Manor development in the adjoining Alport Road.

Councillor Dan Morris, portfolio holder for highways at Shropshire Council, said the project had been met by "a range of complex challenges", but, weather allowing, work should start in mid-January.

"Our highways development control officers have now signed off the contractor's proposals for the proposed mini-roundabout scheme," he said.
