The council has reversed its decision to close Maryon Wilson Animal Park after significant public outcry and a petition gathering over 11,000 signatures. Protests from residents, alongside discussions with campaigners, led to a commitment to continue the park's funding and management. Councillor Sandra Bauer acknowledged the park's importance to the community and emphasized the need to find alternative solutions while also making necessary budget cuts. The initial plan aimed at substantial savings but faced backlash from the local community, leading to a reevaluation of priorities.
The council announced it would continue to fund and manage Maryon Wilson Animal Park, ensuring it remains open for the community and schools.
Councillor Sandra Bauer stated, 'I've heard you loud and clear... we’re going to remove the proposal and explore alternative ways to keep the park open to the public.'
