Letter: Are Shrewsbury planners aware of town's problems?

Re: the proposition to further develop Shrewsbury town centre with department stores and more restaurants for the shoppers and customers of high-class restaurants. Has no-one told the so-called planners and developers of the problems facing them?

1. Traffic and parking problems. We've got very high parking fees and very little room already in the "Loop".

2. People are now shopping online – having their shopping delivered, and not only groceries.

3. There are 10-15 per cent of vacant shops and offices in the town. Good restaurants are not used in great numbers.
