Market Drayton Town Council have recently partnered with nearby HMP Stoke Heath in a bid to help improve biodiversity in the town.

Under the instruction of tutor, Matt Robinson, inmates at the prison are working to make bird, bat and bug boxes out of recycled materials.

Residents and businesses will then be able to pick up a box from Market Drayton Town Council, completely free of charge.
