Youth centre remains closed months after crash

The building has been boarded up while Shropshire Council waits for updates about repairs

A council has said a town's youth centre remains closed, three months after a lorry crashed into it.

The HGV crashed into parked vehicles, a railway bridge and the youth club building in Ludlow in the early hours of 28 April.

Shropshire Council, which owns the building, said it was awaiting further information regarding the repair and rebuild works for the site.

Most of the community and family hub services held there were moved to Helena Lane Community Centre.

"We are currently awaiting approval to extend Helena Lane's opening hours, which will allow us to relocate the remaining evening sessions," the authority said.

Youth club services, run by the Shropshire Youth Association (SYA), were suspended after the crash, but were looking to restart sessions at Helena Lane in September.
