The M54 motorway was completed in 1983, improving the town's road links with the West Midlands conurbation, Wolverhampton is south east and Birmingham is in the same direction. In the 2011 census, the town had a population of 142,723 while in 2017, the wider borough had an estimated population of 175,271. It is the most populous settlement in Shropshire and is nearly twice the size of Shropshire's historic county town, Shrewsbury, to the west. It is near Staffordshire: Stafford is to the east and Stoke-on-Trent is north east from the town.
The town is polycentric, having been designated under the New Towns Acts in 1963 and 1968 and developed between the 1960s to the 1970s. Centred on a shopping centre and a public park, the new town is named after Thomas Telford, a civil engineer on many road, canal and rail projects in the county. It was originally designated under the name Dawley New Town. As well as multiple villages and Dawley, the other constituent towns are Coalbrookdale, Dawley, Madeley, Newport, Oakengates and Wellington. Provided by Wikipedia
