Doncaster's mayor says she has instructed the council to begin legal action against the owner of Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA).

Ros Jones said this was to prevent the removal of critical assets ahead of the airport's proposed closure. Owner Peel Group said on Tuesday it had received no "credible proposal" for the airport site. However, Ms Jones said there was a credible bid in place, with the necessary financial backing. Last month, Peel said operations would wind down at the airport from the end of October as it was not financially viable.

Ms Jones said: "Following the lack of national government support and the continuing unreasonable actions of Peel with a ridiculous timeframe and current unwillingness to suspend the closure notice, yesterday I instructed Doncaster Council to commence legal proceedings to prevent removal of critical assets and infrastructure essential for operation and future potential operators."

Peel Group previously said it had begun "winding down provision of aviation services and facilitating an orderly managed closure".
