Bath and North East Somerset Council has issued a statement thanking the 50 or so residents, business owners and visitors who came together this week to discuss how to tackle the urban gull population in the city. Those present included representatives from other councils, pest control organisations and universities.

The scrutiny inquiry day at the Guildhall – aimed at reducing the gulls’ food source caused by litter and exposed waste – heard a range of views and ideas put forward for potential actions to tackle the gull menace.
These will now be considered in detail by the Panel and a report agreed in the New Year for presentation to the Council’s Cabinet.
