I do wish councillors would do the job which they are paid to do instead of consistently taking the route that requires least creative thinking or effort. There is absolutely no reason as to why this facility should be relocated.

It needs an entry fee of £2-£3 (or £5 if refurbished or added to slightly).

It needs a cafe that pumps funds into the gardens.

And a daily animal feed stand - visitors can purchase small cups of feed for local birds, their garden birds, ducks, and the resident animals. Profitable and exciting for young kids.

I don't agree with going too commercial, but you could look to Blackbrook Zoological Gardens & B'ham Nature Centre for a takeover, or economic model.

This is it's historical home and this is where it should stay!

They loved getting close to the animals. I also took my own children and later my grandchildren. They were all interested in the animals and enjoyed feeding them. There is no other place similar close enough for visits, and it would be a great shame for the present and future children to miss out on this experience. Please keep this farm open.

There is very little wildlife or greenspace around bucknall area for families to visit why take all they have and put it miles away where there is already plenty of wildlife? It's an asset to the city and should stay in the city

I am a 28 year old woman and I have visited many times with my friends, my partner and my nephews!

It is great that there is still this one 'free' place for local people to visit and for children to go to learn.

There should be no consideration to remove this facility, however, there should be much effort put into offering the people of the city of Stoke on Trent more wonderful free facilities like this!
