Road barrier to wildlife

I WAS recently visiting your pretty town and had to rescue a native critter due to the badly designed road guards there.

An echidna was stuck against a road guard that is attached at ground level on the busy road to Perth, trapping small animals..

It would be much better if the guards were raised as they usually are, allowing small animals to go underneath to safety.

I emailed the local council but aren’t sure who is responsible.

I wondered if a little publicity may help. Here’s a photo of the animal trapped before we moved him off the road.
