Councillor Says Gulls are "Becoming a Menace" in Whitby and Scarborough

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.
