Body-worn cameras are going to be issued to West Mercia police officers next year, with firearms officers and Taser-users the first to get them.

The death of the ex-footballer Dalian Atkinson led to calls for them to be used, as a way of monitoring police conduct in serious incidents.

Chief Constable Anthony Bangham said that once Taser and firearms users have them, they will be rolled out across the force, over the course of the year.

- Figures show rise in reported hate-crime months following EU vote

- Roads closed and farmland flooded in Shropshire

A reader got in touch through the Your Questions section of the BBC website to ask "There is a 'hill fort' to the west of Whitchurch on the border of Wales, known locally as San Pan castle. Has this ever been excavated?"

Historic England says the site, which it calls Pan Castle, is believed to be all that remains of a motte and bailey castle and has been given Scheduled Ancient Monument status, external by the government, because it is a well preserved example of one of these earthworks, introduced to Britain by the Normans.

The only known excavation of the site was carried out by soldiers in 1916 and Shropshire Council's historic-environment manager, Andy Wigley, believes they were troops stationed at the large Prees Heath camp.

The dig uncovered the remains of a bridge, but Historic England believes that "extensive buried remains of structures" probably still survive under the ground, along with "artefacts and organic remains".

Here are some of the stories we're looking at this morning:

- Reported hate crime incidents up across West Mercia since Brexit vote

- Dozens of dogs have been found without microchips

- Shrewsbury to Hereford train route reopens after flooding

More than 100 dogs in Shropshire have been found without microchips in the six months since a law made them compulsory.  

Owners can be fined up to £500 for not fitting one, but that hasn't happened yet. 

A Freedom of Information request shows 71 dogs have been found without chips in the Shropshire council area, with 41 in Telford and Wrekin.

Under the law introduced in April this year, a chip the size of a grain of rice must be inserted into the animal's skin with a unique number matched to the owner's contact details stored on a national database. 

The Shrewsbury to Hereford train route has now reopened after being closed overnight and for much of this morning due to yesterday's flooding. 

There may still be delays while services get back up to speed.
