"Building site" webcam notches up the hits

The latest innovation at the Shropshire Star’s award-winning website is a webcam… overlooking a building site.

But the site is the main focus of shoppers’ attention in Telford because it is the centerpiece of a major retail development that prompted a redesign of one of the main shopping areas.

The addition of a Beatties store to the town centre led to the changes and readers can now see a new store complex going up where an old car park used to be.

Website editor Mark Waugh said: “We have linked up with Telford & Wrekin Council to install our latest web cam at the authority’s Malinslee House, overlooking the building site.

“The pictures are updated throughout the day, so people can see the building going up stage by stage.”

There are also more pictures and information about the camera and the development at the site.
