Helen Morgan demands explanation over ‘haphazard’ Oswestry repairs

Helen Morgan has written to Shropshire Council’s Chief Executive demanding an explanation over ‘haphazard’ repair works taken out on Cross Street in the town centre.

This is the second issue in Oswestry town centre where the MP has intervened recently, after a call was recently put out to Shropshire Council to get on with improvements to Church Street.                                                                                

The repair work has seen tarmac fill in holes left by removing paving stones, creating an eyesore on one of Oswestry’s busiest streets.

Helen Morgan, Liberal Democrat MP for North Shropshire said, “Residents of Oswestry want to live in a town they can take pride in. Sadly, that has been made a lot harder since the council installed ugly barriers that cost £8,000 a month on Church Street, and now this haphazard repair work on Cross Street.

“I have written to the Chief Executive demanding an explanation of how this has been allowed to happen on, and what they are going to do to remedy it.

“I know that local councillors, residents, and businesses are up in arms about this. They want the best for Oswestry and deserve a proper explanation from Shropshire Council – and, more importantly, a proper solution.”
