Report a dead animal on the road

We will safely remove and dispose of dead animals on the highway.

This includes wild animals like badgers and foxes, as well as domestic pets such as dogs.

By law, if you run over a dog (even if it's not killed), you should stop and report the accident to the police. You must do this within 24 hours.
