In Herefordshire, two major infrastructure projects are being reviewed after the Tories lost control to a coalition led by an independent group.

Plans for a Northern Relief Road in Shrewsbury have also proved divisive - while some have welcomed the investment, others regret that fields and wildlife will have to make way for the route.

On the tracks, West Midlands Railway has attracted the anger of passengers in the last fortnight, with a shortage of staff being blamed for the cancellation of trains on two separate occasions.

BBC Midlands Today will be featuring a transport election special this week and we want to put your questions to the experts and politicians.

There'll be no Brexit Party candidates standing in Shropshire, Herefordshire or Worcestershire, in the general election, following an announcement by party leader Nigel Farage this morning.

In Warwickshire, just the one seat will be contested by the party - Warwick and Leamington.

Mr Farage said standing candidates across the country could increase the chances of another EU referendum taking place.

However, the party will still stand in seats held by other parties - seats the Tories need to win to claim a majority in Parliament.

Conservative Chairman James Cleverly said there was still a "danger" the Brexit Party could split the vote in target seats, leading to the election of MPs who could "frustrate the Brexit process".

Labour Party chairman Ian Lavery said the Brexit party was a "Thatcherite 1980s tribute act" which he said "would lead to more savage Tory attacks on working class communities".

A "severe bus fire" involving a double decker has been tackled in Birmingham.

The blaze happened in the area of the junction of Coventry Road and Golden Hillock Road in Small Heath.

Two crews, from Highgate and Ladywood, went to the scene after the fire service was alerted at 17:05 and the blaze was out within 40 minutes.

The junction was closed and Coventry Road into the city was shut, the service said, at about 17:45.

He sustained a calf problem after just five minutes in the 2-1 defeat at Wolves, having been given the chance to stand in for Tom Heaton, who was also missing and has now withdrawn from the England squad.
