Gulls vs. Gull Netting in Port Seton | Edinburgh News
Description
A supermarket chain in Port Seton tried installing netting on its roof to stop aggressive gulls from attacking staff—but the local council blocked it. Herring gulls, a protected species, are naturally drawn to the seaside location, and the council feared the netting would harm them. Despite the Co-op’s claim that other deterrents failed, planners insisted more non-lethal options should be explored first, citing the store’s proximity to a protected bird area. The application was denied, leaving workers vulnerable—and the gulls, undeterred, still in charge of the roof.
