Matters arising: Rat infestation Numbers 12-17 Kersie Road is getting bothered with rats, (local resident will get in touch with local councilor). FM is getting bothered with them. Local residents are putting poison down and some are using humane traps. Action (JM) will check with the councilors to see if the council should pay for the removal of these as this is becoming an infestation.
Resident (arrived late to the meeting) she phoned the council they want £79 up front to investigate the problem. The rat poison the residents are putting down doesn’t seem to be working (blue pellets). (Resident) emailed Alastair McPherson, local councilor, resident has photos of the rats. Feels she can’t hang her washing out or use her garden. They are under the decking and even inside some people’s houses. There are people on benefits who can’t afford to pay money for the removal of these vermin.
This is a health and safety matter and there are children and elderly people in the village, the residents are very worried about this.
