An MP has demanded Shropshire Council's chief executive explains the 'haphazard' repair work in a town centre.
Helen Morgan says the work in Cross Street is the second issue in Oswestry town centre she has intervened in recently, after she put call out recently to Shropshire Council to get on with improvements to Church Street.
The repair work in Cross Street has seen asphalt fill in holes left by removed paving stones, creating what the MP says is"an eyesore" on one of Oswestry’s busiest streets. The 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 councilthat 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.”
