Armed police were called to a village in Herefordshire yesterday following reports of a disturbance.
West Mercia Police say officers were sent to Village Way in Bartestree just before ten o’clock.
A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm and remains in custody.
Police have reassured residents there was no wider threat to the public.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
