Anger has centred on Ludlow where one of the local councillors alone has seen more than 1,000 responses to Shropshire’s draft Cycling and Walking Plan.
Time and again officials and a Shropshire Council cabinet member responded to criticisms that a consultation exercise on plans to improve walking and cycling would kill off trade.
Nathan Franklin said:"We do not want to see LTN and 15 minute city plans in the town. Can you commit to to the town not seeing these restrictions as they damage local business." They said that the consultation is"not to ban traffic but to help walking and cycling to be positive" and that it was about being"pro-walking and cycling rather than anti car."
Also proposed are the closure of King Street and High Street to traffic by signalising Bell Lane or by using Silk Mill Lane and Bell Lane for resident access. "Why cater to a minority of road users when a majority wants and needs cars and buses to visit our town."
