A very rainy week failed to dampen the enthusiasm of music fans who filled Ludlow Castle's grounds for a series of big-name music concerts.
Thousands of concert-goers descended on Ludlow for four concerts in the Within the Walls series that included Kaiser Chiefs and Nile Rodgers and Chic which seems to have been very well-received.
Councillor Boddington said:"The town centre has been buzzing with visitors from in and around town and much further afield. For once, the town has been buzzing with younger people, though many older people enjoyed the events also. "I have had complaints, a lot, about noise - some from the town centre, but a town centre can’t thrive in the 21st century if it is quiet and sleepy.
"We have a choice with Ludlow. It can become a sleepy town with a town centre that fades away or it can thrive. That doesn’t mean a concert or festival every weekend. It does mean hosting events that for short periods may cause inconvenience and noise for residents. I think we have the balance right."
