David TC Davies has lost his Monmouthshire seat to Labour.

He is the first Welsh Secretary ever to lose his seat while in the role.

Catherine Ann Fookes is elected as MP for the Monmouthshire constituency.

More to follow.

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”.
