A crucial referendum over the future development of a Shropshire town will be going ahead this week, says a council.
The Neighbourhood Plan for Broseley is a 57 page document that has been painstakingly put together by the town's council and the local community.
The referendum is the final stage in the process of creating a Neighbourhood Plan for the town, which started back in 2018 but was delayed due to the covid pandemic. Then, a public meeting due to be held last week had to be cancelled because of the death of the Queen. "Following the sad news of the death of HM Queen Elizabeth, the meeting had to be cancelled but, under electoral law, the referendum will still go ahead and we hope people will still come out and vote."
The referendum asks the question:"Do you want Shropshire Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Broseley to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?"
