A mum from Myddle, north of Shrewsbury, is trying to raise awareness of a bacterial infection, following the death of her day old daughter. 

The group B streptococcus bacterium is common, but can be fatal when carried by a baby.

Kayleigh Griffiths, lost her daughter Pippa in April this year and says she "couldn't believe" what was happening.

It should be a mild night in Shropshire with some light cloud around.

Temperatures overnight will be around 12C (54F).

More than 200 school pupils, from 13 schools across the county, are taking part in a remembrance event at Southwater in Telford.

It is being held to commemorate local soldiers, especially those from the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry, who were killed during the Battle of the Somme.

A number of storage containers have been broken into at a building site in Highley, the police say.

Plumbing items and a commercial jet washer have been stolen and a mechanical digger on the site was damaged in the break-in on Monday or Tuesday.

The news that GHA Coaches has gone into administration came as a surprise to staff.

They were called into a meeting this morning, to hear the news they had all been made redundant.

The BBC caught up with these workers in Wales.

There are more than 490 solar panels on the roof of Shropshire Council's headquarters in Shrewsbury and I've been up to see them today.

The council says they should generate enough electricity to supply 8% of their total energy needs - reducing their annual electricity bill by £16,000.

You can see my report on the panels on the BBC's Sunday Politics programme from 11:00 this Sunday.

We’re celebrating Black Country Day here on Midlands Today and as always would love to hear from you about what makes you proud of to live there. 

The Birmingham Pub Bombings are never far from the headlines, even after four decades, thanks to the families’ campaign for truth and justice. Today we’ve been hearing from Michelle Sealey who was only six months old when two bombs exploded in city centre pubs in 1974. 

Twenty one people died, including her dad Paul Davies who was only 17. Michelle is now supporting campaigners who are calling for answers ahead of new inquests ordered by the coroner. 

And if you’re a Harry Potter fan you’ll be hard pushed to top the Shrewsbury family who have spent thousands turning their home into Hogwarts.

Shropshire's Sandy Lyle had one of his unhappiest experiences at an Open Championship as he opened up with a 14-over-par 85 at Royal Troon.

The 58-year-old former Hawkstone Park amateur, playing in his 41st Open at the age of 58, dropped six shots on his way to the turn in 41.

Starting with a triple bogey seven at the tough 11th, where he drove on to the main Glasgow-Stranraer railway line, he went further off track with eight more shots in as many holes.

Lyle's round matched his worst at an Open, on the first day at the notorious Carnoustie Open of 1999, when he also shot a 14-over 85.
