Shrewsbury, Shropshire Shrewsbury has been named the second happiest place to live in the country and the UK’s healthiest town! Not surprising when we see what the city has to offer. Shrewsbury is a small, historic and vibrant city in the heart of beautiful Shropshire. It has some wonderful historic buildings as well as great shopping, cafés, restaurants, bars and night-life. The main street and shopping centres contain all the key high-street stores but also Shrewsbury is famous for its large array of independent shops and a fantastic market hall. It is a culturally rich city with numerous music events and festivals taking place and a wonderful, modern theatre (Theatre Severn). If you enjoy the countryside, rolling landscapes are just outside the city and the stunning Shropshire Hills – Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – are just a short drive or train ride south of Shrewsbury. The Welsh hills and mountains of Snowdonia are also within easy reach. Shrewsbury is extremely well-connected in terms of links to larger cities. Birmingham and Manchester are easily accessible for a day-trip by direct train or by car. You can be in London in little over 2 hours 30 by train and we are well-linked to the M6 and M5 via the M54. We love living in this area, because Shrewsbury has so much to offer and everything you need, yet Manchester, Birmingham and Chester are close for a day hustle and bustle in a big city. We also love walking and hiking so enjoy spending a day in the Shropshire Hills or heading into Wales for some stunning landscapes. It is a very affordable part of the country so rental prices and house prices are reasonable and it is therefore easy to maintain a great lifestyle. If you don’t know the area, feel free to come and visit us and spend a couple of days exploring!

Introduction 1.1 Chairs, Accountable Officers and leaders across NHS and social care in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin have agreed to establish a ‘Compact’ which sets out their commitment to partnership working to deliver improved health and wellbeing for the people they serve. 1.2 The Compact sets out a high level vision and strategy for the health and social care system, drawing on the visions and priorities of individual organisations and other partnerships, including the respective Health and Wellbeing Strategies of the two local authorities. 1.3 It commits all organisations to a set of principles and ways of working which will provide a framework for collaborative working through which key elements of the strategy will be delivered.
