Bus strike avoided after pay deal agreed
A series of strikes were due to begin on 6 May
A bus strike in Telford has been averted after union members voted to accept an improved pay deal.
More than 100 drivers employed by Arriva Midlands had voted for industrial action, which was due to begin on 6 May.
Their union, Unite, said drivers in the town were underpaid compared to others elsewhere in the West Midlands.
It said its members would "no doubt now be celebrating this excellent pay deal", while Arriva said the news would "come as a relief" to customers in Telford.
