People's Park — Attraction in Calderdale

My favourite park. However the council needs to do something urgently about the amount of people feeding the ducks and Canadian geese unsuitable foods like bread and chappatis in massive amounts. This is causing malnutrition and then wing deformity "angel wing" leaving birds unable to fly and migrate in the winter or even fly away from trouble which is so sad to see.
