Anti-helicopter asses with a difference!
DONKEYS were back on the seafront at Weston-super-Mare yesterday after a one-day strike by all beach attractions over the safety of helicopter rides on the sands.
Strike organisers, who say the flights frighten the animals, reached a temporary agreement with the helicopter operators which saw the landing site moved further down the beach.
North Somerset council will attempt to sort the problem out at a meeting in July.
Kevin Mager, 50, said his family had run donkeys on Weston beach since 1886, said: "We felt we could not have guaranteed people's safety with the helicopters operating so close."
