Shropshire Council have provided an update about Ludlow Youth Centre after it was struck by a lorry earlier this week.

After colliding with a house, fence panels and several vehicles, a lorry ploughed into Ludlow Youth Centre on Lower Galdeford in the early hours of Monday, April 28.

The road was closed for several hours as emergency and recovery services worked to remove the HGV from the side of the community centre. Fortunately, no-one was injured in the incident.

Following the collision, West Mercia Police issued an appeal for information, asking the public to come forward with any eye-witness accounts or CCTV footage.

Now, Shropshire Council, which runs Family and Community Hub services from the building, has issued an update.
