Shropshire Council have pledged a new bus interchange will be created in the Riverside area of Shrewsbury to replace the run-down station once it is demolished.
Senior councillors said they hoped the promise would put minds at rest amid speculation over the future of bus travel into the centre of Shrewsbury, but said the facility may not take the form of a traditional station.
She also moved to quash speculation that the site of the current bus station had already been discounted as a possible location. He said Bus Users Shropshire had looked into the idea and concluded that the current site was the best possible location. “We are reiterating this council’s commitment to providing a replacement bus interchange facility within the same approximate location.”
“The impression it gives to visitors is important if we are to have pride in our town. I think it’s really important that care is taken to make sure that whatever is provided is something we can be proud of.”
