Shrewsbury is already a great place to ditch the car and commute by bike or on foot, and it's about to get better. The town will welcome a range of new travel options in the next 12 months, including a new bike hire scheme and river taxi.

Shrewsbury's Big Town Plan Partnership has secured more than £340,000 of UK Shared Prosperity (UKSPF) funding for its new bike hire scheme, plus cargo bikes for last-mile deliveries to the town centre and increased cycle storage for workers and residents.
The Shrewsbury River Taxi service is being developed with the help of the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed group and the operators of the Sabrina riverboat.
