A petition has been launched to save the Loudwater Studio from closure in Ludlow.

Vison Homes has confirmed the community arts studio on the Burway Trading Estate will close from the end of March.

Studio user Ben Parker said: "We are all disgusted at this is happening so quickly and not allowing any of us as members anytime to try and save it from closure."

"The studio for me is a lifeline as i suffer from a rare muscular disease called Pompe. Loudwater not only enables me to create but it gives me and many others who are in a similar situation to me, a space to breathe, create and relax."

Users of the studio have now launched a petition calling for the centre to remain open.

No reason has been given for the closure. Vison Homes have been contacted.
