It follows an inspection by the Health and Safety Executive at the former Royal Victoria Hotel.

Telford & Wrekin Council says it has taken further steps to force action on the former Royal Victoria Hotel, Newport, following an inspection by the Health and Safety Executive where the building and its supporting structures have not been demonstrated by the owner to be safe.

The council says access for vehicles in the remainder of St. Mary’s Street is limited due to the layout of the road, and where possible, the council is encouraging deliveries to take place from nearby streets. “This is a privately owned Grade II Listed building which has been neglected for a number of years. We will be seeking a court order to force the owner to remove the dangerous scaffolding and ensure the structures are safe. It’s just not acceptable.

“As a council, we have tried to work with the owner to facilitate the redevelopment of the site for some time and it is hugely disappointing that the development has stalled despite viable options being available.”
