Priestly College isn't next to Victoria Park. Unless you're on the blackbear canal and it's still a fair distance between the two.

I would iamgine that it incurs a considerable cost deploying a helicopter, and given that this was over a dead pigeon i have to question if this was the best use of cash strapped cheshire police's resources
