More than £20 million has already been spent on the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road project, which has not yet been granted planning permission - and a councillor said there is no 'definitive likely cost at this time'.
A meeting on Wednesday was told that more than £20 million has already been spent on the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road project which has not yet been granted planning permission.
"Should planning approval be granted a full business case will be developed for submission to the Department of Transport to release funding." Councillor Wilson used the opportunity of a follow up question to quiz Councillor Carroll about noise suffered by Copthorne residents resulting from test drilling to do with the project. Councillor Carroll said the authority has apologised to residents over the issue.
In response Councillor Carroll said that the £12.1m Professional Service Costs incurred by the NWRR to date are the"expected and planned project development costs incurred through Shropshire Council's term consultants, WSP, in line with the Outline Business Case forecast. The overall cost of the project was recently put at £80.1m with the majority of the funding for the project from the Department for Transport, which has provided £54m, while the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership has given £4.2m.
