As a family who are members and staunch supporters of Wildwood (Suzy also sponsors Scruffy the brown bear!) we want to see our wildlife parks open again as soon as possible. Because of the current participation arrangements in the House of Commons I shall not be able to speak in the debate on Thursday but I have tabled a written question and am in direct contact with Ministers about this. East Kent`s wildlife parks together make a significant contribution to our community as an education and conservation resource and to our tourist economy. They also cost a great deal to run and the animals and birds have to be looked after, with or without lockdown. We all have to work to get Wildwood and all our wildlife parks up and running and safely back in business.
