I REFER to Readers' Letters regarding feeding pigeons. I live in Farnworth and the pigeons are an endless annoyance.

The rubbish thrown down by thoughtless people, who have no regard for leaving a mess, is quickly eaten up by the pigeons. They, in turn, leave their dirty mess.

Brackley Street shops (where you can't sit down for the pigeons and enjoy a chat and a pastie, the precinct and Farnworth market (a once vibrant area), are fouled with droppings of the pigeons.

I have previously read other readers' letters and they don't justify the filth the pigeons leave behind.

My family and friends of Farnworth agree - don't encourage the pigeons, support the environmental health.
