Dead Monk jack deer
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8050425.
I was driving along the A45 towards Riverside as passing under the Queen Eleanalor roundabout I saw a dead monk Jack deer in the road. It is not causing an obstruction however it is obviously been hit by a vehicle whilst trying to cross from cherry orchard across to delapre. There is a barrier separating traffic going towards Riverside and going towards the M1 junction 15, the dead deer is in that barrier section

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.
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
