A woman has died on a farm in North Herefordshire.
Emergency services were called Easthampton Lane in Easthampton at 9:25am this morning.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "We were called to a private address in Mortimers Cross at around 9.25am this morning following a report of a concern for welfare.
"Officers attended, along with the ambulance service, and a woman was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Her death is not being treated as suspicious."
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”.
