Kivells plans new livestock market in Devon

South-west auctioneer Kivells has begun negotiations with planners for a new livestock market for Holsworthy in Devon.

The firm has acquired an option on land to the north of the town which it hoped would secure the future of Holsworthy market. The present nine-acre site at Holsworthy requires significant investment to upgrade and a new site would ease traffic congestion.

Partner David Kivell said the mart would complement Kivells’ existing markets at Hallworthy and Liskeard.
