John Fareham and John Abbott have news of progress towards a solution of the pigeon problems affecting Chanterlands Avenue rail bridge.
After prolonged pressure on our part including a full discussion some months ago at Wyke Area Committee, Hull City Council has now formally applied to Network Rail for permission to install a pigeon deterrent system, comprising steel netting and expected to last for five years, on the bridge. As soon as Network Rail grant permission – assuming of course that they do – work will commence. This will be the culmination of a campaign that began with remarks on the doorstep from local residents about the nuisance value of these feral birds, involved the officers taking various forms of action to reduce the noise and clear away the mess, and now will hopefully result in these “rats with wings” taking a hike.
