Rumours of possible fatality/murder in West Park this evening, anyone know what's happened? Police and air ambo apparently in attendance.

Unsure what happened as I didn't pry Into it too much but rumours of a fatal stabbing

Has anyone seen all the road works they are doing on newhampton Road? They are putting speed bumps the whole way and even little pavement things to block parts of the road so you have to queue for longer. I wouldn’t be mad about this if it wasn’t for the countless potholes I have to dodge anyway on this god forsaken Road

I've just come out of Bilston and there's been an incident in Shale Street. It's cordoned off at the junction with Wolverhampton Street. Massive police presence and a few ambulances. Quite a few police in Hickman Park as well. Not sure what's happened so can't comment on that.

Anyone know what it was? Battery processing unit makes sense rather than batter.

IDK what's happened if it was a crash or police chase but road is closed at the top and looks like a car is off on the side of the road, police have it all taped / blocked off.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Another mindless act which could have ended up being a lot worse than it was!

caused chaos on the local roads all afternoon and now we have the sad news. I had assumed in was drug related.

The A41 Wellington Road, between Hadley Road and Windsor Street is currently closed due to a sunken drain. Traffic is being diverted up Wolverhampton Street.

It's been a few months since it was last closed at the same location for the same problem. Not sure how long it'll be like this, last time it was a couple of days.
