Monmouthshire County Council has reinstated free school transport for pupils travelling from St Arvans to The Dell Primary after an independent review deemed the walking route unsafe.
The decision follows a residents’ petition.
Assessments of two other routes, from Mathern to Chepstow Comprehensive and Caldicot to Archbishop Rowan Williams Primary, were upheld as safe, meaning transport will not be provided.
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”.
