Fears over ‘super rats’

A COUNCILLOR yesterday said she would ask her authority to investigate reports of giant rats invading an estate.

According to reports in The Sun, a 30-inch rodent was shot dead on the Ravenscliffe estate in Bradford, prompting fears that “super rats” from South America could be at large.

Carol Beardmore, who represents the Eccleshill ward for the Liberal Democrats on Bradford Council, played down suggestions that hundreds of giant rodents were plaguing the estate.
