The Hub was due to celebrate its third birthday just two days before it was forced to close because of the exclusion zone around the Royal Victoria Hotel.

Volunteers and staff are eager to reopen the doors after 10 weeks

The road and footpath directly outside the hotel on St Mary's Street was temporarily closed in the interests of public safety in early February, forcing the closure of the next door community cafe, function space and youth club. The exclusion zone was lifted on Friday, March 31, after Telford & Wrekin Council stepped in to make the dangerous former hotel safe, after the owner of the building failed to meet a court deadline.

Staff at The Hub have been working hard for two weeks, giving the premises a spring clean and carrying out essential maintenance to get the space back up and running.She said:"We are really excited to be reopening and welcoming back customers new and old, getting volunteers back and getting together to enjoy the space and nice food and coffee and cakes."

Royal Mail and Communication Workers Union reach agreement on payA provisional agreement over pay and working conditions for postal service workers has been reached. 💐🤚 Good to hear but I think the damage has been done and doubt the service will ever recover. People have found other cheaper ways to post items inc couriers and more emails ...I hope any compensation figures include all the money they steal from birthday cards...
