PROPOSED measures to prevent pigeons pooing in Chester historic Water Tower in Boughton have been given the green light. Last month we reported that construction and property consultants Summers-Inman, on behalf of Severn Trent Water, had submitted a listed building consent application to place anti-bird netting on gaps where pigeons have been getting into the 19th century, Grade II-listed water tower, at the Boughton Water Treatment Works. Those plans have now been approved by Cheshire West and Chester Council. In a design and access statement, Summers-Inman said that an inspection was carried out at the site and found pigeons were entering the building through several locations.
