Shropshire Council

On 1 April 2009 the 6 Shropshire councils will merge to make one new council delivering services for the whole county. The new council will be called 'Shropshire Council'.

Shropshire Council will bring a number of advantages:

• One voice for the county – providing strong strategic leadership
• £9.8m a year in savings
• Low and sustainable council tax increases
• Low transitional costs
• 'One door' to make it easier to access services
• A greater say for local people
• More accountable councillors
• More and better services for local people
• More and better services for local businesses

Councillors and officers from all 6 councils are working together to ensure a smooth transition as the new council begins to take shape.

This website will keep you up to date with the latest changes and developments as services are rolled out over the next few months.
