Shropshire Council’s parking strategy determines the way that the council manages and runs its car parks and on-street parking, including how and what it charges for parking. The current strategy was introduced in 2012 and needs to be replaced.

A 12-week public consultation on a proposed new parking strategy was launched on 22 July 2017 and closed on 17 October 2017 – a total of 2,486 responses and many additional individual comments were received, with more than 22,000 individual comments received in total.
