Ludlow Town Council hopes to ‘draw line in the sand’ over collapsed 13th century wall
Councillors hope to ‘draw a line in the sand’ over the issue of liability for a collapsed section of Ludlow’s 13th century castle wall.
Councillors meeting at Ludlow Town Council said they wanted to play a part in a partnership but did not accept any “historical, current, or future liability".
Town mayor Councillor Beverley Waite proposed a statement after getting agreement to suspend standing orders.
The item was on the agenda as one where councillors were recommended to “note the communication between Ludlow Town Council and Ludlow Town Walls Trust” and copied emails between the two bodies.
The mayor’s motion was not published with the agenda and Councillor Waite proposed suspending council standing orders because she “would like a discussion".
Councillor Glenn Ginger seconded and the council voted to agree to suspend standing orders.
