Shropshire Council is now consulting on their future housing growth strategy for 2016 to 2036.

Please let me know what you think of the proposals so that I can better represent your views in future campaigns and at Shropshire Council.

Key facts for Whittington:

Whittington is slated to grow by 360 dwellings between 2016 & 2036.
95 of those have already been permitted but not yet completed.

360 new dwellings is a rise of 34% since the 2011 census.
