There's slow traffic on the A41 southbound at the A518 Stafford Road (Mere Park roundabout) 

Traffic is heavier than normal, in part because of traffic diverting off the M6 because of a lorry fire near Stafford services on the northbound carriageway.

The decision to grant planning permission for a row of shops in Bridgnorth hasn't gone down well with the people opposing the plans.

The four shops and a café will be built on what is currently a car park, despite Shropshire councillors previously saying they were "minded to refuse" the application. 

Today the Shropshire Council planning committee was told by the developer that if the plans weren't approved, it would take away the car parking agreement it had with the town council.

The town's chamber of commerce called the decision to green light the proposal "disgraceful".

The police investigations into a stabbing in Dawley last night are focused on two areas - a block of flats where the incident happened and the spot where a knife was later recovered.

The 47-year-old victim was attacked at the Trinity Place flats, off Old Vicarage Road.

Police say a knife was found in the area of Hinksay Road, opposite Finger Road, near to the Mount Gilbert School. 

Plans for a mini retail park in Bridgnorth have been approved by Shropshire councillors this afternoon.

Developers want to build four shops and a café in between Sainsbury's and the hospital, but concerns had been raised about the effect on local businesses and the loss of car parking spaces.
