Susan Thorkildsen, who lives just over the border in Cornhill-on-Tweed, said she did not think a feeding ban was the way to go in dealing with the gulls.
“They were here many, many, many years ago, long before people were here,” she said.
“I actually feed them in Berwick and I feel like I am doing some good because, with me feeding them, it takes away the pressure from them looking for other scraps or pieces or whatever they can get off of other people.
“When people move to a seaside town, you’ve got to expect to have seagulls.
“That’s part of life, you know, you can’t say – hey, look, I’m here now, I don’t want you here, we’re going to get rid of you.”
