People living in St Ann’s have spoken out about a problem with rats in the area saying that people feed them who treat them as 'little gods'. One person even said they found rat droppings on their doorstep.
There have been complaints to Nottingham City Council about people on Abbotsford Drive feeding rats and birds, although the council say there have not been any recent complaints to them. Feeding the animals is inevitably causing them to come back.
Images of a dead rat found outside of Merleen Lydsney’s home were shown to Nottinghamshire Live. Merleen, 57 has also come across foxes and is aware that birds in the bushes of her garden have been breeding there.
