A council has launched a crackdown on people feeding the ducks at a popular town pond after a boom in numbers.
New signs look set to be installed at the Gainsborough Drive pond in north Lowestoft, with information leaflets delivered to homes nearby after concerns were raised in the past couple of months over the feeding of ducks and changes in water quality.
