Severn Trent still in negotiations for final demolition works at Priory Mews

Severn Trent remains "in negotiations" as works to demolish buildings on Priory Mews continue.
The water company began knocking down the homes in January, some two years after safety concerns around the road were first raised.
Thought to be subsidence caused by a burst water main, there have been discussions around the road since February 2022.
Councillors at Warwickshire County Council last year revealed progress was on hold until Severn Trent cut a deal with the last remaining homeowner.
Having eventually began work on site in January, Severn Trent told Nub News last month that there were "many factors involved" that "restrict the pace" of the works.
But with one of the buildings still standing, Nub News was told final negotiations are "ongoing".
Photos from local photography Geoff Ousbey show the extent of the progress so far.
In January, a Severn Trent spokesperson said: "While the cause and responsibility for the issues at Priory Mews is undetermined, to act in the best interest of those affected, we stepped in to help manage it to bring things to a resolution as quickly as possible.
"While there are factors involved that restrict the pace of this, demolition on some of the houses is now underway.
"We're continuing to work with other parties involved and would like to apologise to anyone who has been impacted by this ongoing issue."
Original estimates said the works would last around 10 weeks.
