This section of the site contains information about the rich and proud history and tradition of Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council.

 

 

Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council came into being in 1974, when as a result of Local Government Reorganisation, Shrewsbury Borough Council merged with Atcham Rural District Council. The Council duly adopted armorial bearings which consist of three lions' heads, together with an outline of Atcham Bridge.
The words "Floreat Salopia" appearing on the armorial bearings, mean "May Shrewsbury Flourish".

 

Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council closed down on 31st March 2009, along with Shropshire County Council and the other district and borough councils.

 

The new unitary council for Shropshire, excluding Telford and Wrekin, is Shropshire Council
