Blists Hill Victorian town is hosting a zombie experience tomorrow, external, to raise money for Compton Hospice.

It's similar to the events held at Shrewsbury's former Dana prison, with people paying money to be chased around by actors playing the role of zombies.

This one will be a bit different from your ordinary zombie survival-experience though, because it will be set in Victorian England and takes place at night, to the glow of the gas-lamps.

If you take your rubbish to one of the recycling centres in Telford, you need to know about some changes, which come into force on Monday.

One of the biggest differences will be the move to a seven-day-a-week service.

The Ministry of Defence has been censured by the Health and Safety Executive over the death of a 21-year-old soldier from Market Drayton.

Fusilier Dean Griffiths, who was shot in the neck on "live" training exercise in Kent in 2011.

The exercise involved troops approaching a specially built compound that had been created to simulate the type of building the troops would encounter in Afghanistan.

The MoD has immunity from prosecution under health and safety law, so a censure is issued in cases where it has failed to comply and there would have been a realistic prospect of securing a conviction.

The mask which rescued Harriet the fire-starting cat contained 90% oxygen, rather than the 10% oxygen-mix given to humans.

The masks are made in three sizes, to fit on everything from a large dog to a snake's mouth.

Telford Tigers have signed Great Britain international defenceman Sam Oakford.

Tigers head coach Tom Watkins said the move from Elite League play-off champions Nottingham Panthers came completely out of the blue, after he got a message from the player, asking if there was interest in a deal.

The 26-year-old is training to be a teacher and he got in touch because he doesn't have enough time to fit in the training required to play in the Elite League.

They know each other because Watkins coaches for the Great Britain side.
