have been asked for their opinions on how things should change. They

have come up with a rather radical solution. Build a super A We need

the main A focused on Telford or a totally new service locathon in

the centre of the county, sdrving both main population centres of

Telford and shrews Billy. Any other option in my view would not be

acceptable to residents. Ond MP cautiously welcomed the plans.

Neither hospital is under threat of closure, this is about how best to

provide emergency care. The clinical commissioning group is keen to

stress that the plans don't involve closing Shrewsbury Telford

hospitals. But the services they may offer may change. The plans they

years earlier: it convinced me she had been married before. Shd had two

sons. I was like, OK. And one had died. I said, are you telling me I

met a second husband in New Orleans. She was very selective about what

she would tell me. But I wotld kid around and say, if I have a brother

windy. You can see that cloud is moving south. Things do improve

across Scotland. Showers become confined to the far north and the
