Stevenage council has taken steps to stop pigeons roosting in trees around areas of the town centre.
Hard to imagine a more futile waste of time and money, but there you are. Of course there are reasons - aren't there always? - it's supposedly because they have just tarted up some of the towns piazzas or squares, and don't want bird droppings ruining their handiwork. Oh and health and safety concerns of course.
The fact that the birds were in the trees in that area long before Stevenage existed and were presumably crapping from them, is apparently irrelevant.
Of course this sort of action then begs the question of where the pigeons (it will be them or starlings that the council are targeting), are supposed to do what comes naturally, and defecate?
After all, if the answer to the age old question of whether bears shit in the woods is, well if not there, where? Then surely someone in the council asked the same question? In the mean time, while they ponder that thought, it appears that the Labour run council should be tackling the rampant dog poop problem, which its own local press report is the real blight of the town.
