The boss of Chester Zoo has revealed the impact of the cost-of-living crisis as the popular visitor attraction faces its annual utility bills jumping to £3m.
Jamie Christon, who has been chief executive since March 2021, called on the government to do more to help businesses and charities with their bills while outlining how the zoo is attempting to find new sources of income.
That includes opening a new wedding venue in May 2023 as well as drawing up plans for a hotel.
