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 Town is split into two by The Severn Valley, one area known as High Town and the other as Low Town. Bridgnorth is named after a bridge over the River Severn, the bridge in question was built further North than a previous bridge, constructed at the nearby village of Quatford, to the South of the Town. Some of the earliest names to refer to what is now Bridgnorth, include Brigge, Brug and Bruges. 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. This was designed to be used as part of an offensive against ‘The Danes’ Following the completion of the Norman conquest, William I granted the manor of Bridgnorth to Roger de Montgomerie, who was the first Earl of Shrewsbury.
