Hi
I've put a link on the street site to the London Wildlife Trust hedgehogs info,
which has a link to this -

Thanks for sharing Ian - have signed.
With the hedgehog tracker kit I received from London Wildlife Trust there is
a template which shows the little hole they need in the fence in order to
travel between gardens.
Would anyone be up for trying to make Elmfield Road a Hedgehog Highway?

Help save Britain’s hedgehogs with ‘hedgehog highways’!

Hedgehogs in the UK are in serious trouble. Repeated studies have shown
that the nation’s favourite animal is being wiped out. But there is
something we can do to save them.
I’m an ecologist and author and I’ve been studying hedgehogs for over 30
years. I know that a key cause of them dying out is that our landscapes are
being fenced off into ever smaller fragments. We need to make sure new
housing developments include ‘hedgehog highways’ - a 13 cm hole in the
bottom of a fence that allows hedgehogs to move freely between gardens to
find food and find a mate.
This simple move would have a big impact on the UK’s hedgehogs - and it’s
cheap and easy for developers to carry out.
So I’m calling upon government to ensure every new housing development
builds in these holes for hedgehog highways.This will allow gardens to be
connected, creating the pathways they need to survive.
We can’t sit back and let hedgehog numbers keep plummeting. It’s estimated
that numbers are already down 95% since the 1950s. We have to act now.
Please sign here to call on the Ministry of Housing and Planning to make
hedgehog highways a legal requirement of new builds.
