WWN reader Amanda Barton says Russet Close has Wellington’s first hedgehog road signs.

She says hedgehogs are starting to come out of hibernation and need local people’s help. She asks drivers to slow down at night and keep their eyes peeled.

Anyone who finds a hedgehog out in the day, a small or injured animal, disturbs a nest, spots a ‘marked hog’ or just wants to let her know they have a hedgehog visiting can phone her on 07548 212290.
