Dying swan on the verge of the A1

Reported via desktop in the Off the carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 16:39, Thu 23 May 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6012634.

There is an injured swan, possibly dead now, on the verge of the northbound side of the A1 between the A1 Retail Park and the Sainsbury's roundabout at Biggleswade. It is right next to the carriageway and was in a lot of distress. I tried to call DEFRA, the RSPCA and a local vet but could not get any help. I saw the animal around 3.30pm on 23/5/24.
