Mr Brock, of Town Centre Properties, was given 14 days to carry out the work – a deadline which passed on Tuesday this week.Now, Telford & Wrekin Council has confirmed it has received a satisfactory plan for the scaffolding work, adding that its priority is ensuring the exclusion zone is removed. While there appears to be a resolution over the exclusion zone, the issue of what happens to the building in the long term remains up in the air.Drone shots of the former Royal Victoria Hotel.

"The building was riddled with asbestos and the piling that is now needed to make the original facade safe simply makes this restoration project unviable. But the spokesman for Telford & Wrekin Council said:"We want to reassure the public that our intention is to protect the building and we have no intention to allow it to be de-listed and demolished, works will include replacing the scaffolding and removal of the chimney."Local Telford & Wrekin Councillor, Peter Scott, has also said the focus should be on fixing the current safety concerns before anything else.
