Trees provide an important habitat for birds. The tree provides height and a structure for them to build nests in and perch on. Unfortunately bird mess can become quite a nuisance not only to peoples drives and parked cars but also footpaths and council street furniture.
The council is keen to support the bird population and will not cut down trees because of bird mess. Pruning a tree is not always a solution because birds will continue to perch in the pruned tree and foul anything beneath them.
A simple but effective way of protecting your car is to wash it regularly or park it in another safe location or use a car cover.
What we do
The Council will clean footpaths and street furniture such as benches, litter bins, signs and railings when they are dirty.
How you can help
When you find a footpath or council street furniture that is really suffering from bird fouling please contact us.
