Bridgnorth Town Council said the items had been thrown from Castle Walk, a pedestrian pavement that runs past the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway in High Town and sits more than 30 metres above Underhill Street in Low Town.

The town council said the “items” were “gathering momentum” on the way down and posed a risk to both businesses and residents.
