Meole was a village that got turned into a suburb by the growth of Shrewsbury; it's at the outer south west of the town. When I was growing up my grandparents lived in a hamlet to the west of Shrewsbury but I can't consciously recall ever visiting Meole.
The pronunciation of the town is a matter of much debate; the last time I took a train there it was noticeable that the same voice used one pronunciation as we were leaving Birmingham but the other as we approached Shrewsbury. A friend observed that a study amongst students at their sixth form college exactly aligned to which side of the River Severn their school was on. So it should be "Shrowsbury" here.

From my PoV, it's most noted for the Meole Brace roundabout, a busy traffic junction where the A5 intersected with A49 before the new bypass was built. Both roads have now been removed from the scene, and while it's still busy, it doesn't get quite as gridlocked as before. Shrewsbury Town FC's new stadium is not far away as well, but outside the ward, I think. |

To most people in Shropshire 'Meole' would mostly mean the big retail park, but as that is on the eastern side of the A49 and it is not in the ward. Meole is, of course, pronounced 'Meal'. Of course there are three versions of the town's name, not two: the very local (very working class) pronunciation goes with 'Shoe'.

I liked the old, Gay Meadow, stadium with Fred Davies in his coracle retrieving balls that ended up in the Severn. |

Are they counting tonight or tomorrow? It's not a huge ward, so tonight would make sense.

There was also a Shrewsbury Town Council by-election in Meole Ward today with the same four candidates plus an Independent. So the count will take a bit longer (slower verification).

On those figures, and considering past local voting patterns across Shrewsbury, it is possible (though there are alternative scenarios!) that the Tories lost both halves of the ward.
