Parking capacity at Southwater multi-storey car park will be reduced for the rest of this week following a fire on Saturday.

The fire involving three cars caused damage to the car park’s lighting and electrical wiring. Telford & Wrekin Council says until this is repaired, a number of parking spaces cannot be used.

There are still parking spaces available on the lower floors (0-2) of the multi-storey which remain available.

Three fire appliances were mobilised from Telford Central and Wellington to the fire at around 12.30pm on Saturday.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus and a main jet spent around an hour tackling the fire.

An investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
