The Golden Arrow © Gordon Dickens 1 Introduction Shropshire possesses one of the richest and most varied landscapes of any of the English counties. It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.

We are putting together Council Tax Bill plans for Shropshire that are bold and far-reaching to ensure Shropshire remains a 2019 to 2020 great place to visit, to work and to do business. Since taking over as Leader of the Council two years ago, my priority has been to focus on economic regeneration, raising income, becoming more commercial and efficient and ensuring Shropshire gets its fair share of funding. Creating a sustainable future for Shropshire is not something that can be achieved overnight, this is a long-term strategy involving some difficult decisions and dealing 2 with changes that are beyond our control. 2019/20 is the second year of a five-year plan set out in our Financial Strategy. The years ahead are expected to provide many challenges for the Council. We know our population is aging with needs growing ever more complex as time goes on, yet we understand our duty to provide the best care that we can afford for the people of Shropshire. We estimate that the cost of Adult Social Care will rise by £8.8m in 2019/20. Demographic demands in Children’s Services have seen a step change over the last two years and safeguarding our younger population has proved difficult to manage financially since 2017/18.
