In September, Ludlow Town Council held two meetings where newly elected and returning councillors were briefed by the council’s legal advisors before discussing the next steps.

The Council reaffirmed its commitment to finding a workable solution for the collapsed wall at St Laurence’s Churchyard.

To move this forward, a Council Task and Finish group has been established to help facilitate any future discussions with partner organisations and work towards a resolution that is acceptable to the Town Council and all stakeholders.

Ludlow Town Council views transparency as a cornerstone of its operating principles, however we cannot ignore the possibility that resolution of the town wall issue may lead to legal proceedings and therefore, on the advice of the Council’s legal advisers regarding legal privilege, the council's detailed discussions of the town wall issue must remain confidential for the time being.
