An antelope which escaped from Paignton Zoo has been put down, staff have confirmed.

The lechwe antelope was tranquillised when it was contained in nearby Brantwood Drive after it escaped from its enclosure at about 08:30.

The zoo said: "The escape was triggered by fighting between the males in the lechwe herd. Following a full assessment, we have decided to put the animal to sleep as it would have been impossible to return the escapee to the herd, or find a suitable new home for him."

A Devon council has criticised a consultation by local health bosses on bed closures at four community hospitals.

The South Devon and Torbay Clinicial Commissiong Group (CCG) announced earlier this month that it wanted to care for people in the community instead of at Ashburton, Bovey Tracey, Dartmouth and Paignton (pictured) hospitals. 

A feedback questionnaire is online until the end of November, but Buckfastleigh Town Council criticised it, saying it was manipulative and asked leading questions. 

The CCG said that, as well as asking specific questions, people had the opportunity to give their views in their own words or to make alternative proposals.

Creditors said they wanted to know why they weren't given notice of the closure.

Andrew Neal came closest to breaking the deadlock when his first-half effort was deflected over the bar, while he also had a goal disallowed after Niall Thompson failed to keep the ball in play in the build-up.

The result lifted Truro up one place to 16th in the table, five points above the relegation zone.

The government is pushing ahead with parliamentary boundary changes to cut the number of MPs from 650 to 600 to ensure constituencies have equal population numbers.

They include a constituency which will include a so-called "Devonwall" seat, which would encompass Bideford, Bude and Launceston.
