Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the The Wrekin (Telford and Wrekin, England) mast?

UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

Simon: The Wrekin is one of 19 transmitters which had the SDL National DAB multiplex (which carries Planet Rock) added back in the autumn of 2018.

I cannot get Radio4 longwave in Brierley Hill. I know a place a few miles away that it is called Parliment or Dservive.

Can anyone tell me whether Wrekin is horizontal or vertical polarized for my new all purpose digital TV.
Seems that many here in Oswestry are doing their own thing.
Som horizontal, some vertical!
Just itching to get up there and replace 18 year old yagi with new log/periodic.
Any help would be useful

Henry Porcher:
Whilst you've posted on the DAB transmitter page rather than the Freeview one where it says that it's horizontally polarised, as you haven't (again) given a full postcode we can't give specific comment about predicted reception in your location.
But going by your previous posts, did you ever read the responses you were given, especially the 9th November last year.
People can obviously receive more than one transmitter in your general area (none necessarily 100% reliably) which is why aerials may be pointing in different directions.

Henry Porcher: You've posted on The Wrekin DAB page, but over on The Wrekin Freeview page it shows that all TV services are horizontally polarised.
