I’ve been reading the articles about seagulls – all the do-gooders saying leave them alone, they are protected birds, and so on (The Argus, July 22).
I am a roof tiler and have lived in Brighton all my life. I have been roofing for 37 years and have to deal with these birds every day. They are out of control and now far more aggressive than they ever were.
I live in Hollingbury, and have done for 30 years. Five years ago you never saw a seagull in Hollingbury but the estate is now full of them, waking everybody up at 4.30am. They are coming further inland because there are too many of them.
To me they are just pests and stop me working – I’ve been attacked more times than I can remember. Something needs to be done.
