Joe Lockley, who runs Bright Star Boxing Club in Shifnal, has applied to Shropshire Council for permission to transform a former carpet wholesale unit into a new training base.

The plans, for a boxing club and gym at Unit 1 at the Old Smithfield in Aston Street, Shifnal were submitted to Shropshire Council last month.

The club is currently based at Unit 6 on the Old Smithfield.

The club runs a number of sessions, including for children, abuse victims, and those suffering with poor mental health.
