Shrewsbury’s Business Improvement District (BID) has said being named home of Britain’s best high street will bring in more visitors and create local pride, another reason to join IHBC’s 2025 Annual School – #IHBCShrewsbury2025 –in Shrewsbury on 12-14 June.
BBC Shropshire writes:
The town was given the accolade by The Telegraph newspaper, which also praised Wyle Cop and the market, saying the area was ‘ideal for wandering and window shopping’. It is one of a number of awards the town has collected this year, including Britain’s Favourite Market 2024.
‘You just see the buzz that’s created immediately when you get something like this,’ said Seb Slater, from the BID…
… ‘The heritage environment, those 600 listed buildings just create the most wonderful environment for people to come and spend time, and then you add on our independent shops,’ said Mr Slater.
