A hedgehog highway has been created at a new housing development in Sawtry.
The highway s low-tech holes for the much-loved creatures have been placed at ground level in fencing and other barriers at Judith Gardens, just off Gidding Road, to give hedgehogs access between gardens and wild areas.
The initiative is part of a wider national project agreed between Vistry Group – the housebuilding company which comprises Bovis Homes, Linden Homes and Vistry Partnerships – and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society to protect the endangered animals.
By allowing hedgehogs to roam freely at night, the holes will enable the prickly creatures to find enough food, mates and shelter – and to preserve their natural habitat.

The first residents have moved into their homes on the latest phase of a new housing development in Biddenham.
Linden Homes, part of Vistry Group, is currently building new one and two-bedroom apartments, along with two, three, four and five-bedroom houses at St Marys, off Bromham Road.
Construction work began on phase two of the development in spring last year, and 19 of the 118 properties are now fully built and occupied, with a further 30 already sold.
