The issue of the feral goats has been raised at council again and executive services manager Shireen Donaldson explained the delay in fixing the problem. 

Ms Donaldson said she had been in contact with a goat herder on Tuesday and he had told her several attempts to catch the goats had hit unexpected roadblocks.

“The goats are becoming quite canny, they like to jump off cliffs,” she said.

The herder willl try again this weekend.
