A Shrewsbury town centre businessman's bid to protect his shop from anti-social behaviour with shutters has taken a step forward.
Halon Menswear manager Paul Lord put in the planning application to have security shutters installed at the shop.
It has now emerged that the architects behind the plans have met council officials and agreed to change the colour proposed for the screens. When the application was submitted, a design and access statement told how the shop was faced with an"unacceptable" situation in relation to anti-social behaviour.It comes as there has been significant concern over a rise in anti-social behaviour in the town centre, such as drug taking and abuse, as well as the impact of rough sleeping.
