Richard's Castle (Shropshire), Shropshire Council - Summary reports

On the stretch of road that has recently been partially replaced on the B4362 travelling away from wooferton services towards where the road crosses the railway there is significant damage to two drains. One looks to be completely broken/exposed and it looks like there is a hole in the road. Another drain looks to have all the tarmac missing around the edge. These are likely to cause serious damage to vehicles
