Firefighters rescued a dog from the River Wye this afternoon.

Fire crews from Hereford, Peterchurch, Malvern and Droitwich were sent to Staunton at just after 5:30pm.

The dog was rescued from the river bank and was unharmed.

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”.
