A fire at a recycling centre in Welshpool during the early hours of Thursday morning was not deliberately started, according to the fire service.

Firefighters from four towns were called to Potters' waste management and recycling facility at around 12.30am where an unspecified amount of recycled material was well alight.

It took crews from Llanfyllin, Llandrindod Wells, Montgomery and Welshpool to extinguish the fire.

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service has ruled out any malicious intent.
