The Town Council are responsible for the waterfowl. I do remember hearing that the birds in the aviary were there for display and woudn't be released onto the stream. The birds on the stream are wildfowl and not technically under the remit of the Council (except the swans) None of it makes sense!
I have also noticed two gates which are now open either end of the path by the fountain. Those gates can only be closed via a traffic order. It is a public right of way
@DEEDOODLE I'll leave that to you, I do not know the people who run the wildfowl setup
Might be worth asking the people who run the wildfowl setup?
I have noticed that there are many ducks of different kinds being bred in the avairy, yet i do not see many of those ducks in the actual avairy or put out on the stream, where are they going? We used to have at least 14 swans now we are down to six. I have seen no Mandarins for ages and they are quite atractive little birds. Is the fowl being manage as it should be for the benefit of all?

The Lib Dems believe that they are on a roll because of their success in council elections, so much so locally that they witheld money for the Teignmouth Air Show because of misguided high faluting principles (on a local level). I believe their success was down to disaffected voters for the two main parties due to flaffing about on Brexit. If/when it comes to a General Election, I would not be ...
Just one day into the job, and new Lib Dem leader, Jo Swinson, has said that if there is another EU referendum and Leave win yet again then she will not honour the result. No surprise there then, the Remainiacs want us to keep on voting until they get the required result. The Lib Dems are truly a waste of space, both nationally and locally. Speaking to BBC News this afternoon, newly ...
