Zoo shut after power cut


Published on Tuesday 9 December 2008 14:29

BLACKPOOL Zoo was forced to close today after a power cut.

A fault within an internal power system left bosses with no choice but to close the top attraction shortly after lunchtime.

Zoo spokesman Jude Rothwell said: "There has been an internal fault which has meant we've had to shut the zoo this afternoon.

"It has not affected the animal side as it has a separate power supply, but it has affected the main building including the shop, offices, nursery and Play Barn.

"The disappointing thing is we have had to cancel the nursery's nativity. We have rearranged the show for next Monday.

"The zoo should be re-opened tomorrow once the fault is sorted out."
