Ash dieback: More positive tests in Carmarthenshire

Six more positive samples of a fungus which kills trees have been confirmed in Carmarthenshire.

National Resources Wales (NRW) had been testing for ash dieback in the Ferryside area after an initial case of the disease in mature trees.

NRW has been carrying out a 1.5km (0.9 miles) sweep around the first case and other samples have tested positive.

The first infected trees were discovered last week.

BBC Wales environment correspondent Iolo ap Dafydd reports.
