What do you make of ShropCouncil’s plan to make its services cashless next April? Full story from BBC News:
Shropshire Council is set to go cashless from April next year.
Sarah Musgrove, who works in town and lives close by, told BBC Radio Shropshire: "I went to my local shop, which is dead small in a village, and they don't take cash and only have card payment over £5." Another resident, Lincoln Chibge, said he saw both sides of the debate as "due to the Covid pandemic, most things have become cashless and it's understandable why the council would take that initiative".
