This is happening all too often with Shropshire Council and the Ombudsman, and they are using it as a way to avoid answering complaints and explaining their mistakes.

A Shropshire resident repeatedly asked the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman a simple question: had it actually seen the evidence for his second complaint?

B4555 road closure in Knowle Sands planned for 18th August to sort the collapsed sewer pipe outside The Swan Inn.

Better late than never, but they have known it is definitely sewage that is leaking from further up the road since 2nd August.

I do not know exactly where the road will be closed, or at what times, as they have not provided any other details.

Historic records search results just in and I still cannot find out anything about the pub. The record says it only became a pub in the 1960s. For people that know the area from back then, does that seem credible? Prior to that, the record shows a building and a former piggery which was demolished and then additions were made to the building.
