Get off that bicycle when you're on this Shrewsbury bridge, say town cops
Cyclists were behaving themselves when the police turned up to a footbridge in Shrewsbury in response to residents' concerns about riders not dismounting before crossing.
A Shrewsbury PCSO who covers the Castlefields and Bagley area told the public that they are continuing to complete regular patrols in response to concerns about cyclists using the footbridge at Castle Walk.
