West Country Torridge

People are urging Torridge District Council to get behind a ban live animals being given out because of concerns on animal welfare grounds.

Philip Warren, a farmer near Broodwoodwidger in Torridge, has been collecting tractors since 1989 but will be auctioning them off on September 4.

The independent councillor for Bideford North, Doug Bushby, sympathises with the refugees but believes housing is scarce in Torridge.
