Text of Petition
As
a result of lost income due to emergency closures due to Covid-19 zoos and
aquariums including the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay are facing a funding
crisis. The Senedd has decided not to provide emergency funding to support
them. This threatens the conservation work, educational opportunities and
tourism income into the area. We ask the Senedd to reconsider their decision
and provide this vital support.
This petition was
considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 15/09/2020.
The Committee considered
an update on the petition and, given that the Welsh Government have indicated
the previous and ongoing support to zoos and aquaria, and that this is being
kept under review, agreed to close the petition and thank the petitioner.
