Shropshire Council has warned people to look out for – and report – missing road drain covers following a spate of thefts around Shropshire in recent days.
Around 20 drain covers are known to have been stolen in Atcham, Alveley and Condover– costing around £4,000 to replace.
The council said it’s possible that thefts may have occurred in other parts of the county too.
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”.
