Chanterlands Avenue pigeon problem resolved

John Fareham and John Abbott report that anti-pigeon measures at the Chanterlands Avenue railway bridge have been agreed between the Council and Network Rail and will be installed in May 2013.

The squabbling between the officers and Network Rail over whose job it was to keep noisy feral birds off this bridge has been resolved and the Council will be carrying out the necessary pigeon proofing in May this year. This follows prolonged pressure on the part of John and myself and repeated requests from local residents for action on the noise and mess caused by feral pigeons. The problem is of course not unique to this bridge but we will be glad to support others who follow our lead in sparing other local residents the same irritation should the pigeons in question decide to go and haunt another neighbourhood with a bridge in it.
