Rail freight hub gets final funds

A rail freight project in Shropshire has been given its final funding payment.

The complex, next to an industrial development in Donnington, is expected to be completed by December and will open early next year.

The terminal is expected to handle 750,000 tonnes of goods a year with the aim of reducing the amount of lorries on the road.

The cash is part of an £8m grant from the European Regional Development Fund.
