A planning meeting in Eastbourne took an unexpected turn last night (Tuesday April 23) after a pigeon flew in through an open window.
Flying in circles over the public gallery as planners considered applications at Eastbourne Town Hall, the pigeon’s sudden appearance drew proceedings to a screeching halt.
The meeting stopped for several minutes before the panicking bird was successfully wrangled by Cllr Barry Taylor and a member of town hall staff.
