Dead Animals on the Highway

We are responsible for removing dead animals such as cats, dogs, foxes and badgers from the public highway.

Please describe the animal and give as much detail of the location as possible as this helps us to respond quickly.  If you can, please include the following details:

• road number
• distance from junction or building address
• which side of the carriageway

Under normal circumstances large animals will be collected within 1 hour. Animals smaller than a cat will be collected during normal scheduled street cleaning operations.
