A historic bridge that was badly damaged in a crash could soon be repaired.
Experts at Shropshire Council have applied to their own planners for listed building consent to rebuild the Grade II downstream bridge sandstone parapet at Morton Bridge, in Morton, near Oswestry.
Morton Bridge dates from the early 19th century and was constructed of regularly coursed red sandstone blocks. A further 1.5m of the parapet to either side of the knocked over section was loose and will need to be reinstated, planners have been told.
