Town hall work delay

Teething troubles have delayed the £400,000 renovation of a north Shropshire town hall.

Market traders at Wem Town Hall have been using an outdoor site at Leek Street since August to allow contractors to work inside.

They were supposed to return on October 29, but work has been delayed by problems fitting the alarm and heating systems to the historic building, Shropshire Council said.

Now it is hoped they will be able to move back in on November 12.
