I was pleased today (19 January 2023) to meet with Chief Executive Officer of Shrewsbury Town Foundation Mr Jamie Edwards, who highlighted the pressures that Shrewsbury Town Football Club and other lower league clubs are facing at this current time. During our discussion we also talked about his future ambitions for the club and the lack of good transport access to the Montgomery Waters Meadow.
Mr Edwards explained that he believes one way of securing the future vitality of the club would be to introduce a new train station directly next to the stadium. I gave an undertaking to raise the matter with local stakeholders to ascertain whether a new station at Meole Brace would be feasible.
