Area overrun with rats

Reported via desktop in the Trees and woodland category anonymously at 14:50, Fri 12 December 2025

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 8539593.

The area just up from/running alongside Royal Avenue is completely overrun with rats scuttling back and forth between the hollow tree, bin and shrubbery bordering the path all day. It looks like a colony of rats living in this area where coachloads of tourist are dropped off to view the Royal Crescent.
