I have read on their website it is not an extension as such but a redesigning of the indoor area.

I thought Living Coasts was struggling - didn't they have to make redundancies last year? Or are the WWT shoring the place up with profits from their other zoos?

Its not been getting the number of visitors that were expected,but i noticed no differences in staffing levels last year on my 2 visits last year.
