Back to Dudley Zoo...

I'll believe it when it happens! Over the past few decades the redevelopment of Dudley Zoo has been talked about and talked about and talked about- ad infinitum. Plans to redevelop/modernise just the Ape House go back as far as the 1980's but absolutely has nothing happened except for a couple of demolished walls in the outside area.

I appreciate that the new 'masterplan' encompassing most of the zoo was drawn up much more recently, and I really thought this time something would happen. I'm still waiting....

Thanks for posting it. Very interesting and not that surprising. So once again this big development could be put on hold. Maybe they will still go ahead with the 'internal' improvements to existing zoo exhibits though. e.g. the planned changes of venues for the Orangs/chimps etc. I hope so.
