Proposals to hike the charges at Belfast Zoo are being held up by councillors at City Hall until after the council elections in May.
The plan for price hikes at one of the city’s leading attractions has been bounced from committee to full council and back again as elected representatives from Belfast City Council voice concerns about leisure costs rising during a cost of living crisis.
Last month councillors “noted” an update on mooted price increases at the City Growth and Regeneration Committee, as presented by the council Director of Economic Development. This was in “restricted items,” which means away from the public and press, in a private section of the committee meeting.
