I'm sure the town centre would greatly beneft from a reduction in numbers and also make the Lawn a much more pleasant area to picnic in. There are a number of specialist companies out there, if enough businesses and individuals got together with Dawlish and teignbridge council, could we not negotiate discounted fees and make our town a cleaner , safer and more family friendly place to visit. If residents could receive discounts too, then the birds would also be discouraged from nesting in the town.
The problem would be solved if people stopped eating pasties and chips as they walk.around. .. .the gulls would soon get fed up and stay out to sea.
