Good news as England’s first official Hedgehog crossings installed…
England's first official hedgehog crossing road signs have been unveiled in Kingston, south-west London.
Some 150,000 hedgehogs are killed every year on roads across the country. Experts believe that these deaths are contributing to the animal’s decline in the UK.
Kingston council have now installed four newly approved crossing signs in Old Malden where about 100 of these animals thrive in the large gardens and green spaces.
The new signs feature a hedgehog with white quills inside a red triangle, designed to be easily visible to drivers.
This design was approved by the Department for Transport in December last year.
…marvellous hedgehog advancement…
