Watford-based MediVet has asked Telford & Wrekin Council for permission to convert two units on the Hortonwood industrial estate into a new veterinary clinic. 

The two units on Hortonwood 7 have recently been used as a trade counter for the NHS. 

MediVet, which operates around 400 24-hour veterinary hospitals and practices, said it is finding many of its practices are turning away new clients amid an increasing number of pets in the UK - in part due to Covid-19 lockdown measures.
