Pigeon Droppings – Norwood High Street Railway Bridge
The footpaths under the railway bridge at Norwood High Street are a disgrace. They are constantly covered in pigeon droppings, which is slippery and unhygienic.
We have asked the council to jet clean the pavements, which they have done. To tackle the root cause of this problem we have also demanded that the council has Network Rail make the bridge pigeon-free by erecting netting. The council agrees that this is Network Rail’s respnsibility and have told us:
“The matter has taken longer to resolve than we would have liked or anticipated and we are pressuring for a resolution. If this does not materialise soon we will consider taking an enforcement stance and present a notice to Network Rail.”
We will press the council to take enforcement action and to have Network Rail pay for this, rather than taxpayers, as the responsibility is theirs. We will keep residents informed of progress.
