Two new local nature reserves are to be proposed in Telford & Wrekin as the council aims to have the equivalent of 1,050 football pitches covered by special protected status.

One site would involve creating a bigger local nature reserve (LNR) along the route of the canal in Newport, combining several existing protected sites.

Another would see the creation of a 26.7 hectare LNR to cover the Hurleybrook area of Hadley and Leegomery, council papers state.
