  • Thank you for contacting National Highways about the animal on our network.

    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.

    Wild animals, lying off the carriageway, on verges or the central reservation, are normally left to naturally decay. However, they'll be removed if they are considered a 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
