The railway was forced to close last month as a result of a deteriorating wall on a neighbouring council property.
14 out of the 16 staff members at the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway are set to be made redundant
One of the staff members who has been made redundant told the Shropshire Star:"I'm devastated honestly. Only the manager and the engineer are staying, everyone else is going. "Our engineer Barry Evans has spoken to staff members, many of whom look forward to when they can resume their jobs - if the town council can repair the wall.
"I asked them if they were going to cover staff costs or if we'd have to look at making them redundant, and they said no, don't make them redundant, we can give you answers in the New Year.Dr Tipping added:"We've had loss insurers in so we can recoup our losses in some other way and ensure that the town council pays us an adequate amount of compensation.
"If they'd properly maintained this wall over the years, this wouldn't have happened. The town council has neglected to maintain their property."
