A council has committed to measures that it has said will help hedgehogs thrive.

They are officially classed as vulnerable to extinction in the UK and were added to the "red list" of Britain's under-threat mammals in 2020.

South Ribble Council said the Hedgehog Action Plan was about giving them "room to roam" to reduce the number of them killed on the roads.

Ideas included building ramps on ditches and ponds and leaving gaps in hedges and fences.

Could really use them, garden is full of slugs.

If you have a garden that's all fenced off with no way for hedgehogs and the like to get in or out, maybe make a hole!
