The demolition of a shopping centre and a former doctors' surgery is expected to edge closer next week - paving the way for a major Shrewsbury riverside development.Riverside Shopping Centre and the former Riverside Medical Practice in the town centre have been earmarked to be bulldozed to make way for a"destination" on the banks of the River Severn in Smithfield Road, as well as other developments.

It also recommends the council delegates responsibility to its executive director of place, Mark Barrow, to undertake an options and feasibility study for the retention, reconstruction and/or replacement of Ravens Meadow multi-storey car park, as well as finalise the masterplan strategy after consultation, and finalise planning phases.

A report on 'Smithfield Riverside Phase One', prepared by Mr Barrow, says:"The Shrewsbury Town Centre Redevelopment Programme is an ambitious regeneration initiative, supporting many of the strategic objectives of the Shropshire Plan." "This review also includes an appraisal of the 'masterplan' for the immediate locality, again to ensure that initial developments proposed by the council report are complementary to, and act as a catalyst for future phases of the Smithfield Riverside."
