Shropshire Council is set to approve the next stage of the Smithfield Riverside project next week, as it looks to drive forward the regeneration of Shrewsbury town centre and capitalise on its recent Levelling Up funding win.

Plans for the partial demolition of Riverside shopping centre in Shrewsbury town centre were approved by Shropshire Council’s Local Planning Authority today.

Shropshire Council and its development manager, RivingtonHark, has appointed a design team and communications agency this week, as they step up planning on the Smithfield Riverside regeneration project in Shrewsbury town centre.
