There is still no public sign of progress being made on repairing a section of Ludlow's historic town walls TEN years after its dramatic collapse.

Nearby residents were evacuated and although no-one was injured it led to calls for the wall to be repaired. Portions of Ludlow Town Walls fell down during the night crushing a vehicle parked next to them. Shropshire Councillor Martin Taylor-Smith and council employees make safe the damage. He said: “Ludlow Town Walls are an important part of the town’s history and should be protected for future generations. I am disappointed that the issue has still not been resolved after 10 years.
Former town councillor Andy Boddington, who represents the town on Shropshire Council, said: “I am shocked by the state of the collapsed area. There are sycamores and a buddleia growing out of the rubble. All vegetation needs removing as a matter of urgency to prevent further damage to the wall.”“That’s not fair on nearby residents. It should be tidied up immediately," he said.
The collapse was followed by a wrangle over who was responsible for paying to repair the historic walls, with Ludlow Town Council agreeing to lead the work in 2015.It is believed they were built in about 1270.
