Badgers strike again in Stourbridge

A Stourbridge couple say their garden has been left looking like a lunar landscape after it was colonized by tunneling badgers.

Lucy and Mark Davis, of South Road have had to fork out thousands to evict the animals, a task made more difficult as badgers and their setts are protected under a 1992 act.  

The couple say they’re cautiously optimistic the badgers have gone now, but live in fear they’ll return. Badgers have become a problem in Stourbridge in recent years.
