Pizza Express's plans to permanently shut its Hereford and Ludlow restaurants has been approved by its creditors.
The restructuring will see 73 restaurants close and put 11-hundred jobs at risk.
Its arrangement - which was backed by the majority of the chain's landlords - will also see it secure rent reductions.
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”.
