Motorsport is returning to Worcestershire with the 120th annual Hill Climb at Shelsley Walsh - described by an organiser as "Formula 1 up a country lane". The track in the Malvern Hills opened in 1905 and has seen many champions from the sport take on the steep hill. The record when it was first staged was 77.6 seconds for the 1,000-yard (914m) run but, 120 years later, it stands at […]
The RAF Cosford Air Show returns this weekend, bringing displays of aircraft ranging from the Battle of Britain fighter planes to modern military helicopters. About 50,000 people are expected at the annual event on Sunday, near Albrighton. Motorway restrictions are being relaxed and extra trains put on to cope with the influx of visitors. The event is the only one of its kind organised by the RAF, and chief operations officer […]
Shrewsbury's park and ride service is being extended to have buses run more frequently. From Saturday 28 June, buses into the town centre will set off every 12 minutes at peak times, rather than every 20 minutes. The changes will be made at all three sites - Harlescott, Meole Brace and Oxon - in an effort to reduce congestion. Councillor Rob Wilson said it will mean people in Shrewsbury will […]
The government has agreed to discuss the future of an out-of-favour bypass plan in Shropshire. The Liberal Democrats, who took control of Shropshire Council in the May elections, have said they want to scrap the proposals for a North West Relief Road around Shrewsbury. But council leader Heather Kidd said she did not want to have to pay back the £39m government money it has spent to date. The transport minister Lillian […]

The group is funded by the Veterans Foundation and the woodlands programme is […]
The UK manufacturing sector shrank again last month but may be “turning a corner”, according to new figures. Factories saw the recent downturn linked to trade tensions, US tariffs and higher costs slow down during May but highlighted that confidence was still “subdued”. The S&P Global UK manufacturing PMI survey, watched closely by economists, showed a reading of 46.4 in May, up from 45.4 in April. Any reading above 50 […]
A scheme to develop part of a town centre in Worcestershire has been delayed. The project connecting Worcester Street to Bromsgrove Street in Kidderminster, creating a new green community area, is now expected to be finished by the end of the year. The delay has been caused by the need for additional drainage, said Wyre Forest District Council. The finished space will improve access to the Bromsgrove Street car park, […]
More volunteers are wanted to make knitted hearts for families of patients receiving end-of-life care. Local knitters have been supplying them to The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust since 2020, but stocks are running low. The kindness hearts were first given out during the pandemic, when many families could not see their sick relatives. Debbie Snooke, a Swan End of Life Care Specialist Nurse, said the hearts "bring comfort at […]
An organiser of the Shropshire County Agricultural Show has said reaching its 150th year as an event is a "magnificent achievement for Shropshire". The show's aim is to promote the role of the agricultural industry, but over the years it has evolved and now welcomes thousands of visitors from outside the industry. It is held at the West Mid Showground, Shrewsbury, and will be on Saturday from 0900 BST to […]
