Reason way the exotics left
Old 29-09-2008

Right now have an answer as to why alot of the exotics have left this place the council brought in a new manager for the park and he was not intrested in keeping anything which required a zoo license to keep it,as a result of this change Ben Potterton was as to remove his stock for the park.Below is the thread where questions where first asked about the park.

Actually the reason that there are very few exotics at GH at the moment is that Ben Potterton decided to remove his animals under his own choice, as he quite rightly can.

While the numbers of animals are low, GH are re-fitting and repairing aviaries ready for a re-stock which is due in the new year.

GH are currently interviewing for a collections manager, no new parks manager has been employed.

Sorry, didnt mean to sound rude or abrupt!

Anyone who is interested in the post at GH can apply to the Corporation of London directly.

Once someone has been appointed I suspect there will be a much better idea of timescale for the return of livestock
