Decision due this week on Ludlow King Street closure

A decision on whether to close a key route through Ludlow should be finalised by the end of this week, council transport bosses said today.

King Street, in Ludlow, is set to close for four weeks in February, but there has been speculation over whether it would go ahead as planned after the town's Ludford Bridge was closed after chunks of masonry fell into the River Teme.

The bridge would have provided part of the diversion while King Street was shut.
