Highways bosses in the county are mulling over an unusual problem – how to move a 40-tonne crane, which is stuck upside down, in a field in south Shropshire.

Also, a body has been found in the River Severn at Buildwas.

    The answer is simple. Hire a professional vehicle recovery firm -there are several in the area- who can sort out the job quite quickly.

    easy, tell the owners that it is an abandoned vehicle and if it is not moved within 24 houra it will cut up a scrapped at the owners expense.job done.

    Seen the crane – it’s in a difficult place to be able to get another crane to lift it – the road could give way even more and cause flooding to the castle. Good luck to whoever takes that on!
