Hedgehogs on Trafalgar Roundabout

These model hogs were commissioned by Truro city council as part of their drive to encourage more concern for wildlife. A rather happier association between hedgehogs and traffic than the usual one. They were made by Emma Scott and a team from Mellingey Mill willow craft centre. Two of the four are visible here. The roundabout has now been named as 'the best in the UK' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-49836130
