Pedestrian paradise on Wyle Cop
You may have noticed changes are afoot in Shrewsbury town centre. Last week saw the closure of Beeches Way and on the 30th June it was the turn of Wyle Cop. The work being undertaken includes kerb realignment and the installation of a zebra crossing on Beeches Lane to replace the old Pelican Crossing.
It is thankfully business as usual on Wyle Cop, with all the independent shops, cafes and businesses open as normal. We are pleased to say pedestrians are enjoying strolling around a car free Cop. In fact, one of our customers here at It’s a nomad life has just described wandering around the street today as ‘perfection’.
‘It is just lovely being able to pass from one side of the street to the other with complete ease and take in all the shops’, said a regular visitor to the town. ‘It’s just so lovely and peaceful’.
So why not take advantage of a car free Cop and come and have a stroll? It is a wonderful opportunity to take it all in!
The closure of Wyle Cop to vehicles is due to last for two weeks (after which it will be the turn of St. Julain’s Friars). During the closure period Wyle Cop is available for access from Dogpole.
There is information about the closure and plans on the Shropshire Council website.
