Work to start on fire-hit shops

Work on a new shopping parade in Telford to replace one destroyed by fire could start in March.

The old row of shops in Leegomery was gutted by fire in July and last month councillors promised they would be rebuilt and put plans on display.

Telford & Wrekin Council have been working to find developers to turn the proposals into reality.

Council estates and investment manager Chris Goolson said things were now starting to move forward.
