the residents of Montford and Shrawardine have road safety concerns regarding the junctions at Montford Bridge and Shrawardine on the A5, due to the amount of incidents we are having. We have therefore arranged a meeting with National Highways, Shropshire Council and the local Police to discuss this section of road and potential safety measures that could be put in place. What would be really useful for the meeting would be the statistics of the amount of incidents Shropshire Fire & Rescue have attended on Montford Bridge and Shrawardine junction on the A5.
