Peacocks
Finningley Parish Council wishes to address the issue of peacocks in our village. While we understand that opinions are split amongst our residents regarding these magnificent birds it is essential to clarify our role and limitations.
The Parish Council does not hold statutory powers to manage or control the peacocks. Our responsibilities extend to various local matters but wildlife management falls outside our purview.
If residents are experiencing nuisance due to peacocks DEFRA have advised us they should seek advice from the pest control department at the City of Doncaster Council as they have the necessary expertise and authority to deal with wildlife related issues.
We appreciate your understanding and encourage open dialogue within our community. Let’s continue to cherish our vibrant village while respecting the delicate balance between nature and human habitation.
