The North West Relief Road (NWRR) project in Shrewsbury has been delayed until the New Year. The local authority has postponed the discussion of the full costs and arguments for the project, raising concerns over its escalating costs and environmental impact.
A document detailing the full costs and arguments for the North West Relief Road ( NWRR ) project was scheduled to be reviewed by councillors this month. However, the local authority announced that the discussion has been postponed until the New Year, allowing for further consideration of the project's requirements and carbon calculations. The projected cost of the road has increased to £178m from the initially estimated £81m, raising concerns among auditors.
