An update from the town council said: “Essential tree works near Victoria Avenue in The Quarry are progressing well, with work expected to be completed before the weekend.
“The work, arranged by Shropshire Horticultural Society, involves reducing a number of overgrown yew trees to approximately six feet in height. This will allow the main trees along Victoria Avenue to grow unimpeded.
“Thank you to residents and visitors for their patience while the work takes place. Please continue to respect temporary closures, keep clear of the working areas and follow all on-site safety signage.
