The owner of the cliff railway in Bridgnorth that has sat motionless since it was closed on health and safety grounds in December has said the delay is due to the council having provided the wrong paperwork.

Earlier this week, Bridgnorth Town Council reopened Castle Walk as it waits for permission from the owner of the railway to begin repairs to a second section of the damaged retaining wall that caused the attraction to close last year.

The first section of wall was repaired in May after Malvern Tipping, the owner of Bridgnorth Cliff Railway granted permission to the town council to fix the wall on a "without prejudice" basis.

But work has yet to start on a second section of wall, with the town council saying the hold-up is due to it not having received signed documents from Mr Tipping.
