Hospitals in Herefordshire and Worcestershire are set to get more than 50 new electric vehicle chargepoints, after the NHS Trust secured over £400,000 in government funding.
The investment is expected to save £130 million nationally over 25 years, with costs recouped in just four years.
Trust managers say it’s part of their net zero drive.
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”.
