More job losses can't be ruled out at a specialist school travel company, according to its chief executive.

At the weekend, PGL, which has headquarters in Ross-on-Wye, announced 670 job losses, cutting the workforce by a quarter.

The firm hosts children at residential activity centres across the UK, but has had to cancel visits during the coronavirus crisis.

Chief executive Anthony Jones said they were urging the government to do more to help the sector but couldn't promise an end to staff cuts.

"In this current pandemic I don't think anyone in my position could rule anything out. Our teams know that, they know that we are fighting every day."

Cheshire East Council leader Sam Corcoran says "action is required" to avoid a local lockdown.

Moving magistrates' court trials from Telford to Kidderminster will put more strain on defendants and witnesses, a solicitor has said.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said the move was aimed at clearing a backlog of cases and there was more capacity at the Worcestershire court.

But Stephen Scully, from Lanyon Bowdler's solicitors, said it would mean travelling an extra 26 miles for people involved in a case and had happened without warning.

"Initially we thought it might have been an error but, having spoken to to a few solicitors, there's quite a few cases now starting to be moved to Kidderminster. There was no consultation or warning about this."

The MoJ said the arrangement was temporary and anyone with difficulty in getting to Kidderminster would be given priority for a listing at Telford.

The infection rate in the town on Monday was 80 cases per 100,000 people, according to Worcestershire County Council, external, compared to 37.0 in the seven days to 25 September.

Dr Kathryn Cobain said some residents are not social distancing or following guidelines.

"Such a high rate of infection could see the district put on a watchlist or considered for further intervention measures," she added.

District council leader Karen May said the rise could also be linked to the town's location.

"I think our close proximity to Birmingham and our function and economic geography into that area is a contributing factor. People live in Bromsgrove, work in the Birmingham conurbation."

Birmingham, Solihull and Sandwell are currently under increased lockdown restrictions after a spike in coronavirus cases.
