About Whinney Hill landfill site
Seagulls
We apologise for the inconvenience caused by seagulls and would like to assure residents that we are actively working to deter them and minimise their impact on the local area. As a responsible operator of an essential service for the residents of Lancashire, we see ourselves very much as part of the local community and strive to be a good neighbour. Our site is regulated by the Environment Agency, and we have an active environmental management system in place to manage any pests, including seagulls.
We are currently deploying every measure within our plan to mitigate the number of seagulls in the area, which has increased following the migration of birds inland during the COVID 19 pandemic, and are working with the Environment Agency as well as independent specialist contractors to explore what further steps we may be able to take to address local concerns.
