The Friends, along with other local bodies, continue to oppose any proposal to take away any of this vital public green space and welcome any measure to secure it permanently for public recreation. We are not anti-zoo, and support its efforts to improve its facilities on site, but my statement that "we do not want to stop any expansion of the zoo on its existing site" was printed as "from its existing site", suggesting that we supported the zoo's plan to expand eastwards. We don't.
Within its present boundaries, we wish to see the greatest possible public enjoyment of the spaces and beauties of Corstorphine Hill and of the attractions of the zoo.
