Refuse collections in Leominster have been suspended for the past two days because of the weather.

Sylvia Swain, 69, of Stiperstones, who slipped on ice, breaking both her wrists while out alone has thanked the neighbour, Raymond Chidley, who saw her plight and helped her up on Boxing Day.

And Paul Harris, who came to the rescue and gave an ambulance a tow after the vehicle skidded on ice and got stuck in mud on a driveway, near Shifnal, was today publicly thanked by bosses at the West Midlands Ambulance Service. All of Arriva’s bus services are running normally apart from a handful in the Bridgnorth.

They are: Service 297 Bridgnorth – Kidderminster, not servicing Trimpley Green; service 436 Bridgnorth – Shrewsbury, not servicing Queens Square, Barrow Street, Severn Way and Harley Village and service 9/99 Bridgnorth – Telford, not servicing Broseley Wood.

Arriva Trains Wales services between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton were delayed today.

A charity bingo night at Worthen village hall in aid of the air ambulance tomorrow night has been cancelled due to the weather.
