A further 50 tonnes of rock and mud fell onto a busy road in Telford this week, meaning it will be closed until at least the new year.

Jiggers Bank, a main route into Coalbrookdale, had to be closed after rock and other debris slid onto the road on November 28.

Persistent poor weather since then, including frost and heavy rain, have led to further rock falls. And on Wednesday night, freezing temperatures caused another 50 tonnes of rock and mud to slide onto the road.
