Shropshire Council has received an application for the 'street hub' from Global Media.

The firm wants to put the unit on Castle Street in the town, where it would replace a BT phonebox.

In its application the firm explains that the three-metre high unit would have digital displays on both sides to show adverts, and that it would also provide wifi.

A letter submitted to the council also says that the hubs monitor a number of things which the company argues can be used for future planning decisions.
