Seagulls have been blamed for going on the rampage and scattering rubbish over Swansea’s streets by a local elections candidate who is calling for action.
Louise Thomas, who is standing for the Conservatives in Mayals, has shared images showing rubbish bags in West Cross being torn to pieces by the determined birds on the look-out for food. Gangs of seagulls had been gathering, she said, leading to worsening problems with mess being strewn across the city.
“We were asked to highlight the real issue of seagull nuisance in Swansea and I was supplied with some photos of the problem by local residents and businesses. Every day in the early hours rubbish bins are being opened and strewn all over the roads. This is happening all over Swansea and is an issue even in residential streets,” she said.
