Don Valley Stadium to close in September 'to save cash'

The athletics stadium where Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis trains will close in September.

The demolition of the Don Valley Stadium, which cost £29m, is part of cost-saving measures approved by the city council.

The authority said the £700,000 it spent on the arena in 2012-13 was unsustainable as the stadium was running at a loss.
