In excess of 20 dead deer
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6716316.
There are in excess of 20 large dead deer clearly visible on the A120 between Braintree and Stansted. I realise this problem has been reported many times and that you state that it is your “policy” to let dead animals off the carriageway decay naturally, but these are very large animals which will take a very long time. Meanwhile, there seem to be more carcasses every day. It is at least unsightly and upsetting, but I would think it is also a safety hazard. It must be only a matter of time before somebody has an accident - possibly fatal - as a result of being distracted by their traumatised children, or in my case, my mother with dementia. If the Highways agency have clearly been told about the issue many times, it might be argued that there had been a failure of duty on their part to prevent such an accident.
