A young boy from Monmouthshire has been crowned the World Puddle Jumping champion for 2020.
Three-year-old Theo Burkitt-Watkins, from Goytre, impressed the judges with the height of his jump, his enthusiasm and the distance of his splash, overcoming competitors from as far afield as Australia.
The World Puddle Jumping Championships usually take place in Wicksteed Park, Kettering, Northamptonshire - but were virtual this year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
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”.
