Under the plans, residents in a London borough could be fined £100 for feeding ducks in the park.
Harrow resident Mr Brown put to the council leader: "It's a shame it can't be a bit more nuanced and give that discretion to people feeding real duck food," calling the planned outright ban, "a bit odd overall"."Many parents and grandparents will have experienced the simple joy of taking the kids to feed the ducks. I was concerned and somewhat surprised to see that the council's PSPO would prohibit this," he said.
Mr Osborne added: "The challenge there is the feeding of the ducks in the Pinner Memorial Park causes real problems with pigeons."Fines can already be given out to people feeding birds in Harrow town centre, but the council is consulting to extend this law borough-wide, including in parks. In 2022, figures show that 44 people in the borough were issued fines for breaking bird-feeding laws. A PSPO enables council officers to hand out Fixed Penalty Notices of up to £100, or a summary offence fine of up to £1,000.
A public consultation is currently ongoing on the proposal and Mr Osborne said the council would consider all responses before coming forward with a recommendation, which would then be voted on by the cabinet.What ducks actually eat has been a point of confusion in recent years. The advice from the Canal River Trust says ducks should have a varied diet eating sweetcorn, oats, frozen peas, rice and seeds.
She added people should only throw in as much as the birds eat, so that there is no excess bread left behind to decay.
