Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways regarding the dead deer in the central reservation of the A120.

    We appreciate how distressing it can be for our customers to see animal remains. When in a live carriageway, they are removed as soon as possible by the police or ourselves as they constitute a danger through being an obstruction.

    Remains in the central reservation require a road closure, either through planned maintenance or via a rolling road block, to ensure the safety of our workers. Either method results in disruption for our customers and requires availability of the correct resources.

    However, following your report, I have contacted our maintenance team asking them to remove these remains as soon as possible.

    Thank you again for contacting us. If you need more information about this, please feel free to contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 500 or by email at info@nationalhighways.co.uk.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
