Gloomy outlook for county

Sunday 3rd May 2009, 12:01AM BST.

Shropshire’s economy suffered a double whammy with the loss of more
than 200 jobs at one company and a £21 million debt revealed at
another. Find out more in our weekly podcast.

It’s also been a defining weekend for Shropshire’s premier sports teams, with Shrewsbury Town in a do-or-die encounter in League Two and AFC Telford United facing their second leg semi final play-off in the Blue Square North.

Assistant editor Carl Jones also takes us through the features and reports coming up in next week’s Shropshire Star.
