Nesting seagulls have prompted Layton Primary School to close their Eastwood Avenue gate.

The school said it was forced to close an entrance gate in Eastwood Avenue due to “safety concerns in respect of nesting seagulls”.

The animals are known to become aggressive and to swoop at passers-by to protect their young.
