Local Conservative campaigners have demanded action after Network Rail refused to accept that the problems caused by nesting pigeons on Bridgewater Road railway bridge are causing a health hazard.
Walkden South Conservative Councillors Iain Lindley and Les Turner have been pressing Network Rail and Salford City Council to provide longstanding solutions to the problems caused by pigeon droppings on the pavements under Walkden railway bridges, and whilst the Stanley Road and Walkden Station bridges have been netted after pressure from local Councillors, no action has been taken on Bridgewater Road and the Walkden Station netting has not been repaired following damage from bridge strikes. Now Network Rail have insisted that there is no reason to net the Bridgewater Road bridge despite numerous complaints from local residents.
Local Conservative campaigner Nicky Turner said:
“Pigeon droppings may sound trivial but they create a real eyesore as well as a public health risk - I am very disappointed that Network Rail are refusing to take action. Local Conservatives have launched a petition on this issue so that local residents can show the local strength of feeling on this issue”.
If you would like a copy of the petition, please e-mail Cllr Iain Lindley at iain@walkdenconservatives.co.uk.
