Calls are being made for Shropshire Council to urgently establish whether any schools or other public buildings in the county could be affected by crumbling concrete.
Councillors have told the authority that parents need reassurance over their children's safety, and asked for all assessments to be made public on the council’s website.
“Classrooms, gyms, corridors, toilets and WCs were closed and parents across the country were unsure whether their schools are safe. “There is no definitive list of public buildings and their assessment results to reassure residents as to which buildings are, and which are not, safe to enter.”
