Shropshire Council has summarised which of its services will be unavailable on the day of the Queen's funeral.
In summary Shropshire Council says that services that are usually open on a bank holiday will remain open on Monday, September 19, during the funeral.
But the good news is that it will be free to park in all Shropshire Council off-street surface pay and display car parks - except the big Raven Meadows multi-storey in Shrewsbury.“Monday’s bank holiday is a unique moment which will allow individuals and organisations to watch Her Majesty’s funeral, pay their respects and commemorate her reign, while marking the final day of the period of national mourning," said Councillor Picton.
“Many council services and buildings will change or close on Monday, as is the case on any other bank holiday.
