Locals warn seagulls 'own this village now' after spate of attacks leave people living in fear

People living in a sleepy Welsh village are being terrorised by seagulls, with some left needing hospital treatment after a series of attacks. Residents have warned the issue is "worse than it has ever been" as medical treatment and tetanus shots have been needed as a result of a number of incidents where people have been mobbed by gulls in Llanfairpwll.

Gareth Parry, who has lived in the area for decades, has admitted that he now "thinks twice" about leaving the house. The 70-year-old explained how he felt Anglesey Council should do more to address the issue, explaining how gulls can be aggressive around their chicks and, as the population in the area grows, more problems occur.
