South Shropshire MP Stuart Anderson has urged Shropshire Council to rethink its rejection of Teme Leisure’s funding proposals, warning Cleobury Mortimer’s leisure centre faces closure.
The MP said the centre is a vital hub for sport and community life and criticised the council’s handling of the decision, which shocked staff and residents.
He’s called on both the council and government to release support funding to help secure the facility’s future.
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”.
