Shropshire Council launched a consultation on January 30, asking residents in the town to have their say on proposed changes.
The council is proposing to introduce a 20mph speed limit along Stafford Street, and for the whole length of Grove Gardens, as part of a new programme to "improve road safety outside the Grove School and Sixth Form".
Meanwhile, an extension of current waiting restrictions is being proposed that will see a reduction in 'school keep clear' markings and new double yellow lines in their place.
The council intends to impose a 'no stopping, keep clear' markings restriction on Stafford Street and Great Hales Street and a 'no waiting at any time' restriction on Stafford Street, Grove Gardens and Great Hales Street.
The authority says this will allow "unhindered access for emergency and refuse collection vehicles".
A Shropshire Council spokesperson said: "The parking restrictions and 20mph speed limit are being advertised/consulted on to inform the public and stakeholders of proposed changes, and provide them with an opportunity to comment.
