Police are treating the death of a man in Hereford as unexplained.

Emergency services were called to the River Wye in the city on Saturday morning.

Officers said the body of a male was recovered from the water.

Investigations are continuing.

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”.
