An urgent plan to stabilise part of one of Shrewsbury's historic buildings has been approved by councillors.

The plan is for a temporary timber frame to be installed over damaged infill panels to stabilise a section of the wall of the council-owned Rowley's House in Barker Street.

Councillor Vince Hunt , told Tuesday's meeting that the work needs to be done. And councillor Ted Clarke added:"The sooner we get rid of the scaffolding around it the better." Although significant repair work was carried out in 1932 more is now needed on the imposing timer-framed building.
