Shropshire Council

@ColonelHardy Hello . You can read the reasons for the increase here - newsroom.shropshire.gov.uk/2026/02/full-c…

WOW Shropshire Council ....Tax increase of - 38% for local town council charges, 11% overall when you add in the new separate charge for Garden waste, Why...What justification is there for the step increase - Where is this money going? @ShropCouncil

@deviantgoof Hello. Shropshire Council's share of Council Tax has risen by 8.99% - you can read the reasons for the increase here - newsroom.shropshire.gov.uk/2026/02/full-c…

@ShropCouncil Putting up my CT by 11.6% is a joke. The counci needs to write to all tax payers with an explanation for this inflation busting hike

@rjervis Hello Ryan. That's one for @HighwayWIDS who look after that stretch of the A49 and are carrying out the work there.

@ShropCouncil very long queue at Bayston Hill especially northbound on A49. Can operator be advised to allow more traffic through on light change. No work taking place!

@scootersalop Hi your box was missed yesterday, if you send your address to customerfirst@shropshire.gov.uk an advisor can issue a missed collection report for you thanks, Elinor

@ShropCouncil Doi have to have a bin with purple lid now, or was my recycling box just missed today ? Thanks

@StevenSankey88 Hi we don't get involved in neighbour disputes but if you e-mail customerfirst@shropshire.gov.uk we can put you in touch with the parking team thanks

@ShropCouncil Good morning. Where I live we can’t get to our driveways to park, so the parking situation is abysmal and only getting worse. This morning I found my car (orange) boxed in by neighbours’ cars. Is there anywhere I can complain about this? Can anything be done?

@mpeverton1980 If you're able you can also take it to a recycling centre for it to be recycled.

@ShropCouncil What am I supposed to do with it, can I fly tip?

@ShropCouncil do you collect unwanted green wheelie bins. I have no use for it now so would like it gone.

@madmurph43 You can now report potholes via our Fix My Street Portal. Accessed via the following link - improvingyourroads.shropshire.gov.uk This enables you to plot the location, upload any photos that you may have and will provide you with regular updates as the job progresses. Thanks in advance

@ShropCouncil Dangerous potholes right across the Longden road literally just before the railway bridge. Red Hill side of bridge and a blind corner , find the railway bridge and you will hit potholes.

@m_boovie83 Hi we don't rent or have any garages for rent. I believe some of the housing associations do

@ShropCouncil I'm looking to cancel a council rented garage but can't find a number or site to contact. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?

@aimeepenny Our crews have been working hard to catch up on the recycling and rubbish collections that they were unable to make last week due to the bad weather. Garden waste collections were suspended so the crews that normally collect garden waste could help clear the recycling and rubbish

@ShropCouncil any reason my recycling bin garden waste wouldn’t be emptied when I pay for the service.

@Peter39462624 Hi we have just been informed that all waste collections have been suspended today due to the adverse weather conditions. Collections due today should take place on Monday. Thanks

@ShropCouncil Hi. Are the bins/recycling being collected today in walford rd/Middleton rd ?

@Revamped_views You can report dead animals on the highway for removal via our Fix My Street Portal. improvingyourroads.shropshire.gov.uk The portal enables you to plot the exact location, upload any photos that you may have and will provide you with regular updates as the job progresses. Thanks in advance

@ShropCouncil Hi. Who would be responsible for clearing away dead wild animals? There is a deer on the Reabrook roundabout (Haycock Way, Old Potts Way, A5112) in Shrewsbury. It’s been there since the weekend.

@CarolCo06534473 @richardlock14 The roads gritted last night and this morning can be seen on this map - shropshire.gov.uk/roads-and-high…

@richardlock14 @ShropCouncil What gets me is the message back from Shropshire Council saying they had gritted the A41 last night and this morning. 🤷‍♀️ Clearly they hadn’t but why lie!

-7 here today. Just taken me nearly 3 hrs to do 12 miles. Why is the A41 a major trunk road through to Chester not being gritted @ShropCouncil Accidents everywhere! Why do we pay extortionate council tax?

@CarolCo06534473 The A41 from the Telford and Wrekin border to the Cheshire border is one of our primary gritting routes and was treated last night and this morning. See shropshire.gov.uk/roads-and-high…

@richardlock14 You can report winter maintenance issues via our Fix My Street Portal. This is accessed via the following weblink improvingyourroads.shropshire.gov.uk The portal enables you to plot the exact location, upload any photos that you may have and will provide you with regular updates

@ShropCouncil we need a local salt bin refilling and your website link does not work. What a surprise!!! Safety concerns here and we need the bin refilling as empty as you haven’t checked it for best part of two years. DM me back please.

🍾 Wishing everyone in Shropshire and beyond a happy, healthy and safe new year.
