Grand Tour presenter Richard Hammond will switch on the Christmas lights in Ross-on-Wye.

The event will take place in Ross Town Centre between 11am and 5pm on Sunday 27th November.

There will me over 70 market stalls selling a range of wares including food and drink.

Hammond who lives at Bolitree Castle will turn on the Christmas lights at 4:30pm.

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”.
