But the borough council says gull control is a difficult issue with many conflicting views.
Gulls are becoming a menace in Scarborough and Whitby.
That's the view of borough Councillor John Nock who says a failure to continue a previous effort to curb gull numbers has led to an increase in the gull population.
Councillor Michelle Donohue-Moncrieff is the councils cabinet member for the environment and says there is a limit to what the council can do.
Responding to the suggestion that gulls have become a menace and that more should be done to manage gull numbers, councillor Michelle Donohue-Moncrieff says we need to find ways to live with them.
Councillor Donohue-Moncrieff says there are many differing views on gulls and finding the right balance is not straightforward.
