Shropshire Council is working to make Shropshire a great place to live, learn, work, and visit – we want to innovate to thrive. To make that ambition a reality, we need to understand what our towns and communities need in order to make them better places for all. Our Place Plans – of which there are 18 across the county – paint a picture of each local area and help all of us to shape and improve our communities. Place Plans are documents which bring together information about a defined area. The information that they contain is focussed on infrastructure needs, such as roads, transport facilities, flood defences, schools and educational facilities, medical facilities, sporting and recreational facilities, and open spaces. They also include other information which can help us to understand local needs and to make decisions.

  • The Marches Mosses Are Fenn's, Whixall and Bettisfield Mosses And
    The Marches Mosses are Fenn’s, Whixall and Bettisfield Mosses and Wem Moss National Nature Reserves in North Wales and Shropshire. Collectively, the Mosses form the third-largest lowland raised peatbog in the UK. Lowland raised peatbogs (‘mire’) are one of the rarest habitats on earth, and over 96% have been destroyed over the last several centuries through peat cutting, agriculture and drainage. Formed at least 10,000 years ago, peatbogs are a major store of carbon, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change while providing homes for a wide range of wildlife, many not seen outside this habitat. Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Natural England and Natural Resources Wales are working to restore 2,500 acres of the Marches Mosses and surrounding peat edge (‘lagg’) with the goal of making them healthy, functioning eco-systems once again. We are working to remove invasive scrub and trees, retain more rainwater on the centre of the Mosses, recreate bog on marginal fields, control air and water pollution and continue the clean-up of the former scrapyard site on the edge of Whixall Moss. We also want to make the Marches Mosses more accessible to visitors by improving interpretation and access, installing a wheelchair-accessible bird hide, running a volunteering programme and holding community events. The Marches Mosses are beautiful, tranquil places that are full of wildlife and intriguing to visit. They are also vital for the health of the planet as we try to lessen the impact of carbon emissions on climate change: Peatland is 90% water. Peat bogs work to slow the flow of rainfall through the landscape, thus helping to prevent local flooding.
