It's going to remain cold overnight, although it will remain just above freezing, and there could be some rain in places.

Health commissioners in Worcestershire are thinking of cutting the number of hip and knee operation, by only treating the most severe cases.

It's a move criticised in several of today's national papers.

It's also following in the footsteps of Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group, which introduced similar measures in November 2015.

The Royal College of Surgeons said Worcestershire's proposals have "no clinical justification", but Dr Julian Povey, the Clinical Chair of the Shropshire CCG said that while money pressures in Shropshire are an issue, it was done here "to make sure the right people get the right operation at the right time”.

Dr Povey also said: "There is no-one in Shropshire who would be denied an operation if they had a level of symptoms where they had severe pain or severe limitation of activity."

Shrewsbury Town's Ryan McGivern and Olly Lancashire, who both missed last week's win over Oldham, should be fit for tomorrow's game at Gillingham.

Manager Paul Hurst is also hoping that Louis Dodds and Alex Rodman will be able to take part.

But Ethan Jones is definitely ruled out.

Our headlines this evening:

- Hospitals come out in favour of moving emergency care to Shrewsbury

- Shropshire Council warns utility companies over failure to carry out work on roads correctly

- Telford Tigers win battle to play in end-of-season play-offs

Shropshire Council is warning utility companies carrying out work on the county's roads that they'll face possible legal action if they breach the terms of their highways permits, or fail to carry out work safely.

Last year BT was taken to court by the council and fined £10,000 after concerns were raised about work it carried out on Soulton Road in Wem.

In response, BT Openreach said; "We had around 2,500 jobs in Shropshire during 2016 the vast majority or work is completed without a hitch. Our work in Wem fell short of our usual high standards and we apologise for that."

Telford Tigers will be able to play in the end-of-season playoffs, after talks with the chairman of the English Ice Hockey Association.

They had been banned by the EPL from competing this year, as punishment for going into liquidation earlier in the season, but Ken Taggart agreed that the rule had been brought in after the Tigers financial troubles - and shouldn't be applied retrospectively.

Mr Taggart said that strict penalties would be imposed from next season onwards.

Listen to live BBC local radio commentary from Saturday's action in the National League and National League North.

The NHS trust running the hospitals in Shrewsbury and Telford has come out publicly in favour of moving emergency services to Shrewsbury.

That idea has always been criticised by anti-cuts campaigners and Telford politicians, who want emergency care in both parts of the county.

The trust says its plan would deliver better-staffed and more robust care, and that opponents are ignoring the views of doctors.
