But
Shropshire
From onwards Shropshire was a two-tier authority, with a county council and six district councils, with the Wrekin (later Telford and Wrekin) as a separate unitary authority. In the six district councils were abolished, and the county council area became a separate unitary authority alongside Telford and Wrekin. There is also a ceremonial county of Shropshire covering both unitary authorities.
Shropshire is part of the West Mercia Police area.
In September a exhibit in Oswestry Town Museum was inspired by admire letters between two queer World War Two soldiers [1].
