2026/27 Projects
A Refreshed Mill Street Bus Shelter The Mill Street bus shelter has been fully refurbished, offering a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming space for passengers. It’s a small but important improvement for those who rely on public transport.
Strengthening Food Resilience In partnership with Hands Together Ludlow and Shropshire Council, we’ve supported a food resilience project designed to help local people access nutritious food and build long-term community support networks.
Supporting Ludlow Market Our market traders are at the heart of Ludlow’s identity — their creativity, hard work and warm welcome shape the character of Castle Square every week. To support them, we’ve invested in new infrastructure, improved facilities and a brand‑new Ludlow Market website to make it easier for visitors to discover what’s on and plan their trip. In addition to this a priority is parking arrangements and restrictions around the Market area — helping visitors plan their trip with confidence and supporting our traders with clear, accessible information.
Clearer Sound and Comfort at Council Meetings A new audio system has been installed in the Guildhall, improving sound quality and ensuring that Council meetings are more accessible and easier for everyone to follow. A new heating system has also been introduced, enhancing comfort for all who use the building.
Caring for Our Green Spaces Volunteers have played a vital role in improving the ecology and environment at Henley Road Cemetery. Their dedication has helped protect wildlife, enhance biodiversity, and maintain these peaceful community spaces. Following recent consultation, a new community orchard will also be established at Weyman Road later this year. Pride of Place litter pickers continue their monthly efforts to keep our streets clean.
Town CCTV Phase I of the new CCTV system is now fully complete, with eight cameras installed and operating across the town centre. Phase II, which expands coverage into wider Ludlow, is well advanced. By late 2025, nine of the thirteen planned cameras were installed, including a mix of 360° and ANPR units at key routes into town. The final Phase II cameras are scheduled for installation in March 2026, covering Ludlow Library, Henley Road mini roundabout and Fishmore Road mini roundabout. Once complete, the expanded network will significantly improve coverage and community safety across Ludlow.
