A new bridge over the River Severn, segregated cycle lanes, and a contraflow system for the High Street are among dozens of proposals suggested for Bridgnorth.

It comes as Shropshire Council bids for a share of a £2billion fund from the Government.

The Government has a £2 billion fund for such schemes and last year Shropshire Council was given £116,094 of funding to be allocated towards a consultation into Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans . The LCWIP report presented to Shropshire Council's cabinet on March 8, said Bridgnorth has currently no existing cycle infrastructure.

Other schemes proposed for the town include a new bridge across the River Severn, or if that cannot be delivered, a 20mph speed limit and a contraflow system over the existing bridge .
