A health chief, one of the architects of the transformation of NHS services in Shropshire, is to step down.

Dr Simon Freeman has been leading the Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as its accountable officer since October 2016.

Together, the Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin CCGs have overseen the Future Fit project, that culminated with a pledge of £312m to remodel services in Shropshire.

A consultation has recently closed and the preferred option stated as part of that was to centralise A&E and maternity care in Shrewsbury, with planned surgery moving to Telford.

A final decision has yet to be made, but the plans have attracted a lot of criticism, particularly from politicians and residents in Telford.

Last week, the hospitals trust revealed the Telford A&E would close overnight for at least six months due to staff shortages, prompting anger from residents and even calls for the trust to be put into special measures.

Dr Freeman said retirement was a "personal decision" and that he had "already stayed on past my planned retirement".

He will leave the CCG at the end of March 2019 after working a six-month notice period.

An ambitious vision to create a national park in the West Midlands has been put forward.

It would span more than seven cities and create hundreds of miles of green space, conservation areas and new cycle routes.

The bold proposals, drawn up by landscape architect Kathryn Moore, would make the region home to the UK’s 16th official national park.

"It's based on the idea," she said, "that the landscape isn't just the trees and the grass, but it's to do with the cultural identity of the region."
