Taken from shropshire.gov.uk. Checked 31 Jul 2026 (2026/27 figures are an Oct 2025 committee proposal, likely in force but not confirmed post-consultation). Fees change, so confirm with the council before you budget around them. Drivers spot changes before I do, so if something here is wrong please say and I'll check it against the council and fix it.
