Fire crews have been tackling a large blaze at a recycling centre.

Thirty tonnes of plastic and cardboard had caught fire at Archers Recycling, which is in the Severnside Trading Estate, Gloucester.

Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service said it was called to the scene, located near to the city's Docks, just after 09:00 GMT.

Teams from Tewkesbury, Stroud and Gloucester helped to control the fire, which is being put out.

The trading estate is near Meadow Park Stadium - the home of Gloucester City AFC - with a number of businesses located there.
