WILD DEER existing almost on your doorstep – this is an endearing part (no pun intended!) of living within the Holderness area. But local and national media organisations have recently covered stories that the population of deer in some areas have grown to constitute a problem?
The Daily Mail reported that one species of deer alone has been responsible for causing 42,000 road traffic accidents a year with 20 deaths being recorded – including a 15-year-old boy who died in July after hitting a deer while cycling near Brough.
It is not being suggested here that deer have caused any problems locally – but it would be good to gauge from readers any experiences they have of living alongside the local deer population.
