Greenvale, one of the main roads through Church Aston, had to be closed to the public in early October when a historic culvert swallowed up the road.

The culvert was not on any known maps and was thought to be at least 150 years old.

Telford & Wrekin Council workers have been investigating and repairing ever since, and today announced the road is safe again.
