Shock as 16 tonnes of soil mistakenly dropped in Shrewsbury
The Shropshire Star, and not for the first time, wins our Headline of the Day Award.
There's more about the scheme to improve the Abbey Foregate area of the town in a BBC News report.
I'd be more concerned if the Devil or Welsh Giant who dropped the load of earth to create the Wrekin (because he thought he still had miles to go before he could dump it on Shrewsbury) decided he was going to finish the job. Maybe this 16 tonnes is a foretaste of that?
