The Kenwards say a change in wording by the Director of Public Prosecutions makes it less likely that healthcare professionals will be prosecuted for helping someone to die. 

Mrs Kenward uses a wheelchair and says vulnerable people are at risk from what she calls "dodgy doctors".

Campaigners in the county have written to the health minister and Ludlow MP Philip Dunne to ask him to look at the money the NHS gets to spend here.

They argue more is needed because Shropshire gets 10% less per person to spend on healthcare than the national average.

For the year 2020-2021, Shropshire Council area and Telford and Wrekin will jointly receive £1,768 per person - that's £206 less than the national average of £1,974 per person.

The story which broke yesterday about hospital sandwiches has got you talking on our Facebook page., external

They're off the menu for patients after the hospitals tried to renegotiate their contract with a supplier, who refused to accept a new payment schedule.

Martin James said he could see things from the supplier's point of view: "Can't really blame the sandwich supplier for not agreeing to delay payment, they have to pay their suppliers, staff and overheads for running business."

Lynda Parton wrote: "This makes me so sad, that our Shropshire hospitals can't afford to pay for sandwiches until start of next financial year."

And Sarah Trumper wrote: "Could do with one of those butty bar caravans in the car park".

Similar mounds have already been built in Wiltshire and in Cambridgeshire, and another is about to be built in Herefordshire.

If planning permission is granted, the long barrow could be built by the end of this year.
