Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst thinks his side is better than the one that avoided relegation from League One under Micky Mellon last season.

The team hasn't won a game since February and they travel to promotion-chasing Bristol Rovers on Saturday, knowing only a point separates them from the bottom four.

Hurst did warn that they face "some tough games against some good teams", with five of their final seven games against teams in the top 10.

Shropshire's hospitals are looking for a partnership with hospitals in Staffordshire, to ease pressure on neurology services.

Earlier in the week it was decided that all new referrals would have to be sent to the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, because of a shortage of specialists in Shropshire.

The medical director at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust, Dr Edwin Borman, told a board meeting this afternoon that the remaining staff had been under considerable pressure and that another consultant would have quit if they hadn't taken the action to suspend new referrals.

The reason it would be difficult to close Shrewsbury's accident and emergency department is because the county's trauma unit and emergency surgery are located at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, a meeting was told this afternoon.

Moving emergency surgery to Telford would take at least a year and closing it altogether and taking trauma care out of the county is not something the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust wants to consider.

The possibility of overnight A&E closures to deal with staff shortages has been looked at before, two years ago, but the hospitals pulled back from the brink, after finding extra staff.

After a cloudy day with some sunshine around, here's how the weather's looking for tonight and Friday morning.

A double-decker bus has caught fire in Telford this afternoon.

Firefighters were called to the Wrekin Retail Park at 14:30 and took just under half an hour to put it out.

The bus is used on school-runs, but there were no children on board at the time and nobody was hurt.

The decision to start drawing up plans to close Telford's A&E department overnight is going to anger politicians in Telford, but a hospital board meeting this afternoon heard that closing Shrewsbury's instead was "undeliverable" and would take far too long to implement.

But, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust (SaTH) did agree to consult with "stakeholder groups" and reconsider that appraisal before going ahead with any closures.

The SaTH board has also stressed this is a contingency plan, which will only be acted on if the staff shortages in A&E get worse.

Contingency plans to close Telford's Accident and Emergency department at night will be drawn up.

A meeting of the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust agreed the move this afternoon, as a response to serious staff shortages in A&E.

The NHS Trust said the plan was a last resort, to be used if the staffing situation got worse.

No date has been set for the move, instead it will be triggered if A&E staff are forced to be on call one day out of every three - they are on call one day in four at the moment.

Former England and Shropshire batsman James Taylor has joined Northamptonshire as a coaching consultant. 

Taylor retired with a heart condition in April last year after seven England Tests and 27 one-day games.

Questions have been raised about the future of Telford's women and children's unit, if Telford's accident and emergency department is shut overnight.

Earlier, hospital trust chief executive Simon Wright said the proposals were only being discussed to make sure steps could be taken to safeguard patients, if needed.

However, the leader of the Conservatives on Telford and Wrekin Council, Andrew Eade, says it could have a serious knock-on effect.

Willow Rees got in touch with us through the BBC website to ask "What good or charitable things are happening in Shropshire?"

We went to the Charity Commission, to ask how many charities it has registered in the county, external and found they have 1,655 registered in the Shropshire local authority area and another 368 in the Telford area.

That list contains a number of charities which aren't based in Shropshire, but still operate in the county and some are more active than others - but there is a wide range of causes listed there.

The Wrekin MP Mark Pritchard has told Parliament he believes proposals to close Telford's A&E department overnight later in the year would be "illegal" and could put lives at risk.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust board is meeting today and will decide if it's time to start drawing up plans to introduce these closures later in the year - as a response to serious staffing shortages.

Although Shropshire's Noel Conway has been refused permission to bring a judicial review into the assisted dying laws, the view of the High Court judges wasn't unanimous.

Two of the three judges, Lord Justice Burnett and Mr Justice Jay, refused permission, but Mr Justice Charles dissented - described Mr Conway's stance as "truly selfless".

Mr Conway was seeking a declaration that the Suicide Act 1961 is incompatible with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998, which relates to respect for private and family life, and Article 14, which enables protection from discrimination.

The programme is on BBC Four tonight at 22:00 .

A meeting of Shropshire hospital leaders this afternoon is discussing the possibility of closing Telford's A&E overnight.

The board of the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust could decide to start drawing up a plan, so that this could happen later in the year.

But the hospitals chief executive, Simon Wright, explained this would be a last resort.

Discussions about the possibility of closing Telford's accident and emergency department overnight are under way, with the chief executive of Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust saying such a measure would be a last resort.

Simon Wright said the idea had been on the table for more than a year following the resignation of a number of consultants.

He added doctors didn't want to come to the two hospitals due to the amount of time they had to spend on call.

A north Shropshire primary school located on a busy country road is urging parents not to park outside the gate following a series of near misses.

The local pub and the castle in Whittington near Oswestry allow parents to use their car parks free of charge, but not everyone is using them.

On Midlands Today this lunchtime, we'll hear how there's an experiment to try to stop frogs, toads and newts becoming trapped in roadside gullies being carried out in the region. 

Every year, millions of the creatures die this way but now volunteers are installing specially created ladders, which allow them to climb their way back to safety.

The Japanese firm, which makes products like photocopiers and cameras, has decided to close its recycled machines business "as a result of a significant decrease in customer demand".

The Shropshire Star reported as many as 100 jobs could be lost, external , but the company refused to confirm to us the number involved.

It says some of the workforce may be reinstated in the autumn, when there's more demand.
