On a more local matter although the road deaths issue is national. Another badger and another fox death on the black spot known as Hick's Gate.
I have sent a response to Dan Norris's email:
"Hello.
"Thank you for your response.
"I have today received another fox and badger death report from the Hicks Gate stretch of road. The current number of foxes listed killed so far this year is 41 -in the start of cub season so vixens dying results in cubs dying. We have four badger deaths and, again, in cub season.
"People looking at the “issues” is fine but it calls for action as 250,000 badgers have already been culled in the UK and 100,000 per year are killed on the roads and even the British Trust for Ornithology is calling for the fox to be Red Listed now as it suffers similar road deaths each year as well as ‘sport’ shooting and snaring. The financial cost of wildlife corridors should not be the stumbling block. Species extinction is the problem and if we can help by even reducing road deaths then the environment and eco system reliant on these animals will not suffer.
"Apologies but recording death after death on an almost daily basis I see the urgency in resolving some of the problems.
Regards
