Campaigners want the ambulance hub moved away from a school zone, raising concerns that children have been hit by other vehicles in the area in recent months.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service representative is due to speak at a Shrewsbury Town Council planning meeting next Tuesday.
The current base is in Mercian Close, near Meole Brace School and The Priory School. Road safety campaigners have raised concerns that children have been hit by vehicles on several occasions, and heavy traffic makes the area dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. Late last year, Craig Cooke, the WMAS operational support services director, told a Radbrook Road Safety Group meeting: “The, my number one priority. There is no estates priority in front of this one. It has a lease life. We are serious about replacing this one.”
