We're forecast a dry night and more of the same tomorow, with some light cloud around.

Temperatures are expected to reach 18C (64F).

The last remaining Spitfire pilot to serve in the Siege of Malta is planning to return for commemorations on the island next month.

It's 75 years since the siege was ended by the Allies and Allan Scott from Wem, Shropshire, has been invited back to take part in ceremonies which will include Prince Charles.

The 96-year-old also served in the Battle of Britain, but said the air battle over Malta was arguably more fierce.

A 44% increase in the number of complaints about West Mercia Police is due to a change "recording procedures" and an effort to make sure "people are able to make complaints more easily", the force say.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) say there were 733 complaints against the Mercia Police in 2016/17, compared to 509 the previous year.

In a statement, the force say the IPCC figures are "helpful to us in making improvements".

Another 100 undergraduate students are due to arrive in Shrewsbury at the weekend, ready to start courses at the University Centre Shrewsbury.

It's the third year the off-shoot of the University of Chester has been offering undergraduate courses, with students due to attend from as far afield as Pakistan.

Lectures will mostly be held at the Guildhall and Rowley's House and a number of welcome events are being lined up, to help the new arrivals settle in to life in Shrewsbury.

The long-term aim for the university centre to expand over the next five to 10 years, until it can become an independent university.

Each chef has to prepare six servings, to present to the judges and today will see Rachel Fletcher from Lilleshall Primary School, Sharon Deavall of St Mary’s RC Primary in Madeley, and catering supervisor Becca Bowdler battle it out for a place in the final on 12 October.

The winner gets the Let's Dine Chef of the Year trophy, along with a personalised chef's jacket and either a year's golf membership or a year's gym subscription.

An arsonist set six cars on fire at a garage in Llanymynech last night, police have revealed.

They were called to Pant Motor Bodies on North Road at 22:10, to reports of several vehicles alight and the fire then spread, causing damage to a nearby home.

Nobody was hurt, but the police say there was "substantial damage" to the building and the vehicles.

Shrewsbury's maternity unit will be closed until midday tomorrow after flooding.

It closed at 17:00 yesterday, because of damage caused by rain which leaked through the roof.

Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust had hoped to have it open again this morning, but said repairs were taking longer than expected.

The closure last night resulted in three postnatal women being sent home and women due to give birth were re-directed to Telford.

The hospitals say no women sent to Telford's Princess Royal Hospital gave birth last night.

It is expected to reopen on Wednesday and patients are asked to go the Princess Royal Hospital instead.

West Mercia Police is the slowest in the country at resolving complaints, figures from the Independent Police Complaints Commission have revealed., external

In 2016/17 the average number of days for the forces to conclude complaint cases was 183, for those cases which didn't have to go to court.

The next highest was Essex Police, which averaged 162 days and the national average was 102.

The figures also show 61% of cases went to a full investigation, 27% were dealt with through a less time-demanding local resolution and the remaining 12% were either dropped or resolved more informally by the parties involved.

There's a warning that the shortage of neurologists in Shropshire is having a knock-on effect on surrounding counties.

Shropshire's GPs have been unable to refer patients within the county since March "due to staffing gaps".

The trust it's expected to announce when services will resume in the coming weeks.

In Staffordshire, the independent body Healthwatch has published a report which says patients with Parkinsons, Motor Neuron Disease and Multiple Sclerosis are failing to receive the right levels of care.

Healthwatch wants feedback on how patients have been finding the service - with long waiting lists a common problem around the West Midlands.

Some Midlands questions to the 'Prime Minister-in-waiting'

The maternity unit at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital was closed last night because of a leaky roof.

Women had to be transferred to Telford's hospital after flash flooding made part of the building inaccessible.

The Shrewbury and Telford Hospital Trust had planned to re-open the maternity unit this morning, but it remains closed while checks are carried out.

The poor state of the building has been an issue for the trust for many years.

The fundraisers who had a donation of £2,500 for Ludlow hospital turned down because of their fancy dress outfits say they're determined to try again next year.

The men pushed a bed around the town, dressed as female nurses, but the Shropshire Community Health Trust rejected the money on the grounds it was "demeaning" and "insulting" to nurses.

Peter Corfield from the Ludlow Hospital League of Friends couldn't say if they would dress up in the same way and who they planned to give the money to.

This year's donation has been given to two local trainee first responders instead, with Mr Corfield saying they were "looking for something that would produce a long-term local benefit".

The Southern Railways locomotive, Repton, is taking part in the Autumn steam gala later this month on the Severn Valley Railway.

It's been loaned by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

Two trainees first responders, who have to buy their own equipment, will get the £2,500.

Schools in Shropshire have been given extra money from the Government.

Ministers have been forced to look again at their National Funding Formula - which decides how much a school gets for each pupil they teach.

It means Shropshire Council will receive nearly £3.7m more over the next two years.

Telford and Wrekin Council will get an extra 2.7% next year - that's more than the national average.

Critics say it's still not enough and providing a balanced budget will remain difficult.
