  • Feral Pigeon Monitoring and Culling at Horse Point Landfill Site

    The public are advised that from Monday 04 March to Friday 08 March 2024, activities will be underway at Horse Point Landfill Site (HPLS) to monitor, and where appropriate, cull feral pigeons. Where needed this will only take place in the mornings, and will usually end by 09:30.

    Feral pigeon numbers are monitored twice a year at HPLS and reported on by the Environmental Management Division. This takes place in support of the St Helena Airport Limited (SHAL) Wildlife Hazard Management Plan, which includes mitigating against bird-strike risk to aircraft.

    Feral pigeons congregate to feed on the organic content of waste within the netted domestic waste cell. If culling is necessary to reduce their numbers, this is undertaken around the netted cell by experienced persons using an air rifle, and who are appropriately licensed by the Environment, Natural Resources and Planning Portfolio.

    During this time signage will be in place as per the below image:

    The public are reminded that the domestic waste cells area is restricted to authorised persons only, as permanently signposted within the site.

  • Temporary One Way Traffic System

    Tuesday 27 February and Wednesday 28 February 2024 – Cruise Ship Visits

    The public are advised that a temporary one way system will be in place Tuesday 27 February and Wednesday 28 February 2024 from 09:00 to 16:00 on both days.  

    The one way system will be in place in the direction of Gordons Post to Hutts Gate along Tomb Road. Traffic wishing to travel in the opposite direction will be diverted from Hutts Gate to Gordons Post via The Dungeon, as per the map below:

    The one way system will be clearly signed and will be removed as soon as no longer required.

    The one way system has been put in place in order to more safely manage traffic and ease congestion, given the anticipated increase in vehicle volumes due to the visit of the cruise ships MSC Poesia and MV Azamara Pursuit. This is the same process as has been put in place in previous years, and for the last cruise ship visit, and is likely to also be a feature during future cruise ship visits.

    We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank the public for their understanding in this matter.
