shopping
What makes Shrewsbury special, is the amount of independent shops that have managed to flourish and remain here,even in the face of difficult economic times. Decisions we make, about how and what and where we shop will have a huge effect on how the town looks in the future. If we don't want it to become a ghost town, we have to be prepared to come in, preferably by using public transport, and use the shops, Market, pubs and restaurants, and celebrate the range of architecture and diversity, and that keeps our money within the town. If we shop in the big 'faceless five' supermarkets, the money we spend does not stay local, and there are huge transportation and environmental costs, as goods are moved around the country.
Do browse the other sections of this guide, there's lots in the Food and Building and Recycling sections as well. See:-

- www.closethedoor.org.uk Close the door run a brilliant campaign to put a stop to heating pavements and wasting energy in the form of heat, simply by persuading shops to close their doors! The Carbon Trust says 54% of heat from a store is wasted, by going straight out of the door. Research says that customers are prepared to open doors into shops, and that closed doors have a minimum impact on sales!
