Pontesbury Potter – Severn Hospice
22 March 2025
7.45am to 4.30pm
Have some muddy good fun and take part in the Severn Hospice Pontesbury Potter, a 13-mile sponsored trek, and raise fund for Severn Hospice care.
We call it potter but it’s no walk in the park. With rugged terrain, slippery slopes, high hilltops – and let’s not forget the potential for winter mud – it's an adventure! We even keep the exact route secret until the big day.
Sign-up or find out more at severnhospice.org.uk/events or call 01952 221 351. Registration £25 per adult, £15 per child (12-16yrs).
Help shape Shropshire Council’s budget proposals Councils all over the country are facing financial pressure, and the council wants to hear from you as it plans its budget for 2025/26. Let Shropshire Council know what you think of a range of proposals, including changes to the park and ride bus service in Shrewsbury. Have your say in the budget survey www.shropshire.gov.uk/budget25 In Shropshire, nearly 80% of the council’s budget is spent on social care for adults and children, supporting some of the most vulnerable people in the county.
As the need and cost for essential services has increased, the council must make savings that help it prioritise services for the people who need them most. Have your say on budget proposals for 2025/26 www.shropshire.gov.uk/budget25 As part of its 2025/26 budget consultation, Shropshire Council wants to hear your thoughts on streetlights. The council could change some or all of the bulbs to energy-savings LEDs and it could reduce the length of time it keeps lights on for. Take part in the budget survey to tell the council your thoughts about streetlights and a range of other savings ideas www.shropshire.gov.uk/budget25.
Shropshire Council wants to hear your thoughts on waste collections and other proposals, as it plans its budget for 2025/26.

Have your say on proposals for changing bin collections in Shropshire, along with other savings ideas www.shropshire.gov.uk/budget25
Shropshire Council is facing a challenging budget position, like lots of other councils, and needs to make changes to some of its services. Have your say on its savings proposals for 2025/26, including a change to the opening hours of Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery and Shrewsbury Castle www.shropshire.gov.uk/budget25
