Shropshire Council "Meet the Leader" event - Lezley Picton, Leader of Shropshire Council will be holding her next "Meet the Leader" session in Bishop's Castle. Lezley will be at the Town Hall between 10am and 12pm on Wednesday 13 July. This is a drop in session on a first come first served basis. Please do take part if you have any issues that you would like to raise directly with Lezley. I am aiming to be there and will be raising issues such as the lack of affordable housing, the state of our roads and the lack of public transport, however if would be much more powerful if individuals raised these and other important issues. Please use this opportunity to make your views heard.
