They were initially put in as part of post-lockdown social distancing measures, but have remained in place since.
Shropshire Council put red and white control barriers - known as HOGS - on Church Street as part of post-lockdown social distancing measures.
Town councillors at a meeting on Wednesday expressed frustration that they have not been replaced saying three years down the line nothing had been done, with Councillor Duncan Kerr proposing the £100,000.Councillor Sian Wadey-Kerr, who works in the town centre, said the HOGS were dangerous.Councillor Sam Chadwick agreed:"There has been one fatal and two very serious accidents on that street, something has to be done.
He said “This year Shropshire Council has committed to spending nearly £5 million improving the public spaces in Bridgnorth and over £17 million in Shrewsbury’s riverside. It’s a stark contrast to Oswestry which gets the shortest of straws with the temporary plastic 'hogs' on Church St celebrating their third birthday and no plan agreed for a permanent solution."
