David Turner, Shropshire councillor for Much Wenlock, said: "Highways officers went at about 10am yesterday. I understand what had happened was a tree had come down over the weekend and they had gone out to clear it and make it safe."

The road was reopened by mid-afternoon on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the road between Sandy Lane and Newport Road in Albrighton became "impassable" following heavy rain over the weekend.

The water completely covered the road creating a stream under the bridge. but it was also cleared by yesterday afternoon.
