There’s a light ginger cat dead just as you come off the axle roundabout on the a47 in the left hand lane. I tried to stop but couldn’t

Absolutely disgusted to see this was logged a couple of days ago and it has not been collected. If it was a dog it would have been collected within hours.

Thank you for contacting National Highways about the animal on the A47 Acle roundabout.
Safety is our highest priority and any animals on the carriage way that pose a risk to vehicles and their occupants will be removed as quickly and safely as possible.
Household pets, such as a dogs and cats, will be retrieved, and we endeavour to reunite pets with their owners if they can be identified through microchips or other identification. Wild animals, lying off the carriageway, on verges or the central reservation, are normally left to naturally decay unless they are a particular hazard, a danger to public health or there is a statutory obligation for testing or removal.
Our local inspector team will make these assessments during their regular safety inspections.
Kind regards National Highways
