A housing association in Shropshire has appointed a new chair, pledging to put tenants at the heart of its work.
Celia Bahrami has taken over as chair of Shropshire Rural Housing Association, which manages around four hundred affordable homes across rural parts of the county.
She says the focus will be on improving existing properties and listening more closely to tenant feedback as the organisation moves forward.
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”.
