We are pleased to be able to report that Don Foster, MP for Bath and 17 other MP’s have written to Caroline Spelman at DEFRA to demand more money is put into research of urban gulls. The cross-party group of MP’s are highlighting how much of a nuisance urban gulls are in their constituencies and how little research there currently is into this problem.
Westmoreland in Bath as Don well knows, has long suffered from Urban Gulls with regular reports of aggressive behaviour, rubbish be strewn across streets and even attacks on property.
Commenting Don Foster said, “It is essential that we put an end to this problem. We need more government funded research if we are to find a humane and effective method of controlling gull numbers.”
He continued, “Urban Gulls remain a nuisance for many of my constituents who have written to me about the issue. As such, I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that this problem is dealt with.”
