Firefighters were called to tackle a fire on the Herefordshire and Shropshire border over the weekend.

A crew from Craven Arms was sent to Brimfield to Hereford and Worcester crews with an LGV fire.

No injuries were reported.

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”.
