Shropshire Council says it is surveying its buildings after shutting Whitchurch Civic Centre.
BBC News, West MidlandsWhitchurch Civic CentreDean Carroll, council member for housing and assets at Shropshire Council, said work was ongoing to establish the state of the building.The presence of Raac appeared to be widespread throughout the civic centre section of the building, which also houses a library, he said.
"There are also parts that we haven't been able to observe due to the nature of some of the ceiling spaces and... floor spaces," he said. "We can say at the current time that's the only location where Raac has been identified but we are still doing ongoing investigation works into other properties," he added.
He was unable to estimate how long the work on the civic centre would take or estimate the cost of repairs. "In the meantime we'll be looking at what options are available to continue delivering public services in the town of Whitchurch," he said.Follow BBC West Midlands on
