Over 100 properties have been left without power in Bromyard.

Western Power Distribution said 118 properties were without electricity in the HR7 area.

Engineers found damage to cables in Firs Ochard.

Power is expected to be restored by 7:30pm.

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”.
