IVYBRIDGE IS ONE OF SEVERAL LOCATIONS SHUTTING DOWN

- WILLIAM TELFORD

Donkey Sanctuary site picked for closure

IVYBRIDGE'S Donkey Sanctuary is to close due to financial pressures, leaving campaigners who fought to keep it open "gutted".

Bosses at the Devon-headquartered charity have confirmed that, following a consultation, they are to shut the Ivybridge centre, despite more than 4,500 people signing a petition to keep it open. The charity is also shutting other Donkey Assisted Activity Centres in Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds, with another in Belfast being scaled back into a small sanctuary and rehoming centre. The charity's main site in Sidmouth continues to operate.

In total, 57 workers have been under consultation for redundancy, with 11 of them at Ivybridge Donkey Sanctuary, in Filham Park. It is home to 21 donkeys, and charity bosses have not said whether the land will be sold.
