This petition is in hopes of making the river in Shrewsbury town safer, help with the prevention of crime and the solving of accidents. The way to do this can be by having cctv located along the river as it goes through and past the town, this could even be partnered with more path and street lighting such as motion sensed ones to make the walkways easier to navigate and make the cctv pick up a clearer image. When you think of the things that happen, that could’ve been prevented or discovered sooner, then the difference it could make would be massive. Even something as simple as fences or barriers in certain spots on the edges of the river could make a large difference. Many people who live in Shrewsbury and even out of it already want the safety of the river to be updated and improved, which is why I also believe if we encourage the council to make any change then we may hopefully see it happen.
