Bird keepers in Darlington have been given new restrictions to help tackle and stop the spread of bird flu.

It comes a fortnight after farmers in North Yorkshire were told to take extra precautions after the county was upgraded to a "higher risk" area for the disease.

The risk to humans remains low, and chicken and eggs are safe to eat if properly cooked - but it can be devastating for our local farmers.

Rachel Teate spoke to Harry Hodgson, the owner of Piercebridge farm in Darlington.
