Three play areas have re-opened in Ludlow and Craven Arms.

Having initially remained closed, the council is now confident that appropriate safety measures can be put in place to allow play areas to open.

Shropshire Council is responsible for managing 52 play areas across the county.

Play areas managed by Shropshire Council that are now open, are:

Newington Way, Craven Arms
Fishmore View, Ludlow
Tollgate Road, Ludlow

Play areas will continue to be safely reopened and more information will be provided.
