Ludlow Town Council: Shaping Our Future Together

Shropshire Council’s financial position continues to worsen, raising the possibility that responsibility for some services—yet to be identified—may be devolved to town and parish councils. This is a significant concern for Ludlow Town Council. In response, Ludlow Town Council is launching a community engagement programme to help shape our approach to Shropshire Council’s financial challenges and to better understand residents’ longer-term expectations of their Town Council.

This survey has two main purposes: first, to gather your views on the local services currently provided by Ludlow Town Council; and second, to understand your thoughts on additional services that Ludlow Town Council may be asked to support or fund in the near future.

If you’d like to explore which services Ludlow Town Council is responsible for — and which fall to other authorities — please use the link to Ludlow Town Council website: https://www.ludlow.gov.uk/
