Weston
—
Rooted in Shropshire,
Grown by the Community,
Built for the Future.
Weston is an emerging proposal for a new village and a new economic gateway for Shropshire, brought forward together as one connected place. Our ambition is a place where people can live, work and belong in the same community, with the schools, GP surgery, nurseries and shops its residents need provided on site.
At the heart of the site will be Weston Village, a place with its own identity and a lasting sense of belonging. Alongside it, Weston Gateway will bring new high-quality jobs, skills and training to Shropshire, built around industries and opportunities with a real, lasting home here.
As long-term custodians of the area, with roots here stretching back over 900 years and a family home here today, we are personally invested in getting Weston right. We believe the best places are shaped together with the communities who will live in them. That is why, before any detailed proposals are drawn up, we want to understand local priorities and reflect them in a shared vision for Weston. We are at the very start of that process, and will share more as our proposals develop.
