Shrewsbury Prison is going to close, along with 5 others across the country, under government plans announced today. The idea is that one 'super prison' will be built in their place.

One of Birmingham's longest-running community law centres is calling on the council to save and secure its future.
The Law Centre at Small Heath has been running for nearly a hundred years but now faces closure because of funding cuts.
It offers help and advice on housing, welfare, debt and homelessness, and staff say it's of even greater importance in the current economic climate. More than two thousand people use the centre each year, and an online petition's been started.
