The future of the South Lakes Safari Zoo dominates Barrow Borough Council's agenda for the next week.
They'll meet three times in seven days to discuss renewed safety concerns about the Dalton attraction's walkways; and about whether to renew the park's licence.
The authority's Licensing Regulatory Committee is expected to demand that the zoo shut all its public wooden walkways and platforms.
Previously, the park's management had said it'd complied with an order issued in December to make sure they're safe.
However, according to a report going before councillors today, the attraction has only carried out surveys on walkways that were more than 30cm above the ground - they say that's what they were asked to do; the council says no such condition existed.
Meanwhile, a decision on whether to renew the zoo's licence won't be made until the last minute - it expires in June and the council's been recommended to defer its decision until then.
That's to give the park time to implement 62 conditions and recommendations drawn-up following an inspection by government appointed zoo inspectors in November.
Issues the council say need to be dealt with include escapes, and animal welfare and diet.
The attraction itself says it's met many of the requirements already and that aspects of that inspection report were factually incorrect and misleading.
