GBGB Managing Director Mark Bird has responded to the story that Greyhound Trust directors Clive Feltham and Joe Scanlon have resigned.

Bird said: “The GBGB are unaware of these resignations, but if correct, then this is extremely worrying news, both for the Trust but also in the homing of greyhounds.”

The Star understands that a number of Board directors are urging the organisation to consider its future relationship with the troubled charity.
