Row erupts over housing company's cabins in Ludlow

A row has kicked off in a Shropshire town over the positioning of a housing company's temporary depot.

Housing association Connexus has built a storage and operations depot in Sydney Road Green in the heart of the town to support work on refurbishing more than 70 homes in Sandpits Avenue.

Councillors Tracey Huffer and Andy Boddington are calling for work to be halted until a new location for the depot can be found. “That is a steep and winding route. The road is narrow. There are cars and vans parked everywhere. It is quite a squeeze for the bus to get through at times. Often vehicles end up with their wheels on the pavement and that’s not safe for pedestrians."

Vicki Tomlinson, director of property at Connexus said:"The compound at the green on Sidney Road is enabling Connexus and its contractors to carry out large-scale refurbishment work to around 70 homes nearby on Sandpits Avenue as part of a £6.5million refurbishment project.
