The Council has always sought to support appropriate public bus services in Shropshire. The implications on people’s ability to access essential services, social exclusion, rural isolation, economic and environmental impact are important elements when considering service provision. The subsidised network is in addition to those services which are provided on a commercial basis within the County. The Council currently hold 29 subsidised local bus service contracts. These contracts are awarded to a number of local bus operators following an open market tender process. Contracts are for a maximum 5 year duration before retender. Current revenue spend on the subsidised network is circa £1.8m per annum.

The earliest piece of evidence that refers to the Town is from the year 895, there are records showing that ‘The Danes’ created a camp in an area then known as Cwatbridge. In the year 912, Ethelfelda ( Lady of the Mercians ) the ruler of Mercia in the English Midlands from 911-918 built a mound on the West Bank of the River Severn or possibly on the site of what was to become Bridgnorth Castle.
