A farmer has launched a passionate defence of his plans for a huge dairy unit next to a school near Welshpool after coming face-to-face with protestors. Farmer Fraser Jones wants to build the dairy unit for 1,000 cattle in Leighton, but campaigners fear the proposed development could spell the end of the village school. Up to 100 people attended a special meeting at Leighton Primary School last night to hear Mr Jones explain why he wanted to expand his unit by up to five times. He told objectors the only way for him to survive in the dairy industry was to increase his herd because milk prices were so low.

Bothroyd unable to face club
Mick McCarthy has moved to allay fears Jay Bothroyd could play against Wolves in the play-offs.Mick McCarthy has moved to allay fears Jay Bothroyd could play against Wolves in the play-offs. Fans feared the striker, currently on loan at promotion-chasing rivals Stoke, may be allowed to play against his parent club if they meet in the end of season showpiece. But manager McCarthy laughed off any prospect of that scenario happening.

"If Stoke end up in the play-offs and we played them it's quite clear he wouldn't be playing," said McCarthy. Read more in the Express & Star

Closure claim rejected
A council education chief has defended closing a Black Country school after an MP accused the authority of breaking promises and said it may lead to community breakdown. A council education chief has defended closing a Black Country school after an MP accused the authority of breaking promises and said it may lead to community breakdown. Councillor Liz Walker, Dudley Council cabinet member for education, hit back at claims by Stourbridge MP Lynda Waltho, who said that she had been inundated with complaints from parents about closure of Cradley High School. The council decided to close it despite a concerted campaign by parents to keep it open. It is due to close in August 2008. Pupils in years 10 and 11 will complete their education. Younger pupils transfer elsewhere later this year. The Homer Hill school is to close because falling pupil numbers led to a £500,000 reduction in funding. Read the full story in the Express & Star.

Officers for the borough council's Development Control department said the Dudley Muslim Association scheme "would improve the character" of the site in Hall Street. The regulations state that industrial land should be used to create manufacturing jobs, but the planners also highlighted the 112 jobs the development will create in recommending its approval.
