A charging cable was the cause of a fire in Ludlow over the weekend.
Firefighters from the town were called to Hamlet Close at around 7.30pm on Saturday.
Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service said the incident involved a charging lead which caused a small fire on a dining room table.
The table had been removed from the property and the fire was out before their arrival.
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”.
