Listley Street in Bridgnorth was closed today as well as the shop Wild Heart, after concerns about the New Market Buildings.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service attended to see if further action was required.

The danger was identified by the building owner’s contracted engineer.

A spokesman for Shropshire Council said: "The council’s building control team has spoken with all neighbouring premises and residents to make them aware of the reasons for the closure, which is expected to be in place for the next few days."
