'Poorly designed shop fronts are creating problems in our market towns': Views sought on design guide for Oswestry shops
The Design Guide has been produced in collaboration with the Oswestry and District Civic Society by the Future Oswestry Group partnership between, Oswestry Town Council and the Oswestry BID, and as part of the successful Oswestry High Street Heritage Action Zone scheme with Historic England. Currently, the draft guide suggests shop owners work with traditional materials and take inspiration from the style, and design of the building as a whole.The guide's development follows a £2.1m package of improvements within Oswestry town centre that finished earlier this year and included 16 enhanced and reinstated shop fronts.
