Oswestry -Church Street area experimental parking restrictions

Start Date:
1st January 2022

End Date:
30th April 2022

Start Time:

End Time:

This consultation may be of interest to SDN members who need to use disabled parking spaces-Church Street, Oswestry.

The experimental prohibition of waiting and loading restrictions, together with the provision of additional disabled parking and loading bays, will further trial a revised parking layout which is intended to enhance provision for disabled parking in Oswestry town centre. It will also provide improved dedicated loading facilities, whilst managing traffic and indiscriminate parking.

The above aims to provide improved safety for all road users, as well as an enhanced quality of life and environment for the local community, and will be applied on an experimental basis for up to 18 months.

One-way street restrictions and a 20mph speed limit are also proposed for this area, and are covered by separate traffic regulation orders.

Event description: Audio Described Performances
Audio-description in theatre is a live verbal commentary on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds. The description gives only the essential information that a visually impaired patron might miss.

About the Performance: This is a new performance created especially for Birmingham Royal Ballet, Don Quixote introduces us to Cervantes’ famous knight himself, lovers Kitri and Basilio, and a host of supporting characters. As the Don sets out on a quest to track down his true love, with his loyal friend and servant Sancho Panza at his side, he finds himself embroiled in an unlikely adventure of love and dreams. Join us for the first UK performances of Acosta’s sparkling new 21st-century production of this 19th-century masterpiece.
