Not often my home town gets in the national news...
BBC articleFor those that don't know Shrewsbury (which, despite what a lot of people think, is a very socially mixed, nay, polarised, town...), Frankwell is the very old area across the Welsh Bridge from the town centre. It used to be a very working class area (it was basically a wool port) but over the past few decades has gentrified a hell of a lot (much to my dismay).
Anyway it's in the Porthill ward (which is dominated by the richest areas in Shrewsbury) and what few Labour voters said ward has live in Frankwell, as do most of the Greens.
Frankwell is the area where those pink coloured roads begin.
