Allow Chester Zoo to re-open in a similar way to National Trust properties
Allow for Chester Zoo to open along with other similar zoos to save the charity. To allow ticketed limited number re opening so social distancing can be maintained. Indoor spaces can remain closed.
Chester Zoo is a charity supporting conservation and it is now in significant debt and will not survive unless giving increases or it is allowed to reopen. It is a concern not just for the local economy but for the world-leading environmental and ecological work such as the sustainable palm oil campaign which it has led the world on. (Quote from Chester MP Chris Matheson)
