THE recent letters about geese are long overdue.

The mess they leave is awful.

Around Clifford’s Tower the pavements are covered in goose mess and it is very slippery. Rowntree Park is so covered in it every year, it’s not safe for children to play or for people to enjoy the park.

I am against animal cruelty, but the geese are becoming a real health hazard and a public nuisance. They appear to have few natural predators and reproduce at a rapid rate. Time for a cull indeed.
