A woman from Scarborough is calling for a seagull cull after taking a selection of pictures that she says show rubbish strewn across her street by the birds.

Tracey Brooksmith's images show a nappy on a wall and cans and other household rubbish that she claims have been taken out of people's wheelie bins by the "vermin".

Tracey said the mess across the street happens regularly when people put their wheelie bins out and the birds get in and leave the mess all over the cars and the streets.

She says she cannot open her windows in the summer as the birds start screeching at about 3am.
