Dead animal removal

How to request the removal of a dead animal from public highways and open spaces

 

The council removes dead animals from public highways or open spaces including the beach. We will collect dogs, cats and anything larger than a cat. We do not remove rabbits or other small wild animals unless they are on a residential street and are causing offence or distress.

 

We aim to remove a dead animal within four hours of receiving a report.
