Concerns about the number of homes being built in Shifnal will be discussed at a public meeting later today.

Plans for 1,000 new homes have already been approved and Shropshire Council's local development plan suggests there is room for more.

Critics, who plan to attend the meeting at Shifnal Village Hall at 19:00, say they're worried about the pressure this will put on schools, doctors and roads and argue their town is seeing more development than others in the county.

"The problem that they have is that they make large SUV vehicles...so it is not just a case of them saying 'lets put everything into petrol vehicles or electric vehicles', even though they are investing very heavily in electrification and hybrids for the future."
