A PETROL station on the outskirts of Oswestry is expected to reopen after refurbishment at the end of October.

The Shell petrol station along the northbound A5 towards Weston Rhyn is currently closed as it undergoes work to improve its facilities.

The company has been given permission to install signs for its new electric charging points, and more work is planned.

A spokesman for the company confirmed a reopening date.

They said: “It’s an 11-week project to add Shell Recharge to the site with a completion date of October 27.”
