Parents are being targeted by an online guide to what to do during the long summer school holidays at www.shropshirestar.com.

The pages, part of the main website, are helping parents out as they struggle to come up with ideas.

Internet editor Mark Waugh said: "We've put together our special School's Out guide to give mums and dads some pointers.

"With suggestions ranging from outdoor pursuits to steam train rides and fishing, there is plenty to get you started."

Shropshirestar.com is also tackling the thorny issues of the day and asking readers what they think of the latest controversial debates raging locally.

The current reader poll is about whether Telford & Wrekin council should be flying the Union Flag alongside the EU one on its offices - and there's still time to vote.
