The new zoo was due to open this year in Cromer, Norfolk, and it being run by the owners of the nearby Thrigby Wildlife Gardens. It will have a South American theme in terms of species, with a crocodile house similar to Thrigby, pumas, other cats, 6 rodent species, primates, toucans and flamingoes. There has been a great deal of local oppostion to the development but planning permission was granted and building work has started. I was wondering if anybody had any news on its progress as the Thrigby website is rarely updated.

why opposition?

There is a site run by local people NO! to cromer zoo detailing how to oppose the new zoo. I think the mail objection is visitor traffic, as the owners have stated they won't keep any noisy species and the indoor quarters for most of the animals are to be low-impact wooden constructions on stilts.

In the UK people ALWAYS object if a new zoo is planned near to them- even if its going to be only a small operation. Its fear of the unknown- will they have Dangerous animals or Noisy animals or Smelly animals or Animals which escape,or traffic problems with crowds of visitors- the list goes on.

Even in the countryside in the Uk there are bound to be a number of people living somewhere closeby, not like you lot in Australia with all that space....

Hi

I live in Cromer.The zoo will open Easter next year;they delayed because some of the animals were breeding & there was a delay in construction.

And that website IS NOT run by locals,we're glad we're getting a zoo again!
