As we rapidly descend into the depths of another miserable winter and we all start wishing we could hibernate to avoid it, we have a full blown housing crisis developing in Hedgehog Close!
On my early morning perambulation of my extensive grounds today it became apparent that Hedgehog Close (a delightful development of two bespoke luxury bungalows nestling in the Northants countryside in the corner of my garden) is now fully occupied for the winter. No2 has been occupied for about 3 weeks and it appears that No1 has now also been let for the winter since the porch is now full of leaves and hay.
We are now left with no available (affordable) housing for the remaining homeless hedgehogs who are still eating all the food. We cannot get planning permission for any additional development and so we have a full blown housing crisis unless we build on the Green Belt (aka the lawn) which we would never get through a vote in The House.
So, homeless hedgies of the parish, No Vacancies. Soz.
