Dear Sir,
I totally agree with the letter about bird pests as I have the same problem. Apart from all the mess gulls make there is the threat of rats from only yards away from where I live.
People putting an absolute mountain of food out on to the park and about 200 gulls descend on it and cause filth and utter mayhem.
if I was to throw litter about I would be fined! If it is not my washing being ruined its my garden patio, paint work, shed, front door and windows. People wanting to feed gulls should go down to the lakeside.
A lady walked passed by my house with her dog and turned back as she was afraid of being attacked by the horde of birds.
It is bad enough having dog foulers, but feeding such a large amount of gulls should be stopped before someone gets hurt.
There is a big difference between feeding small garden birds on a feeder and throwing masses of waste food out.
I have contacted the Council and hope it can be dealt with quickly.
Very Irate Residents
