Police have confirmed the identity of body found in the River Wye last Friday.

Officers confirmed the body is of Rok Simsic who was reported missing last month.

His death isn’t being treated as suspicious.

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”.
