Tree Planting in St Andrew's Churchyard and Shifnal Community Hub
Shifnal Town Council are happy to advise that the Town Centre refurbishment scheme has kindly donated 6 Amelanchier trees for community use. The trees have been planted within the grounds of St Andrew’s Churchyard to replace storm damaged and removed trees in that area and at Shifnal Community Hub to enhance the community gardens.
Please see pictures of the trees in situ below. We will be looking forward to the new trees with their beautiful blossom, maturing into 10 meter specimens over the next few years.
Christmas Lights and Market 2022
Mayor’s Quote :-
“A lot of hard work by Council Officers, Councillors and Volunteers went into getting this event across the line in a short space of time, but it was well worth it.
We had 36 Market Stalls selling various items and having spoken to all of them, they had a successful day and want to come back next year. The Street Entertainers mingling with the crowds was a great success: Spiderman was my favorite. We had a slightly reduced Christmas light display for 2022 but 2023 Shifnal Christmas Lights will be back with a ‘shine’. “
