Dead fox on bridleway at bottom of Farnborough Fields

Reported via mobile in the Dead Animal in Park category anonymously at 11:49, Mon 8 December 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8516582.

There is a dead fox on the bridleway and footpath that runs alongside Farnborough fields, Green St Green. It is near Shire Lane by the hedge opposite Beechwood Lodge, a few yards away from Beechwood Avenue. It has been partially eaten and its entrails are hanging out. This path is an official bridleway near the road regularly used by horse riders, dog walkers and local people, so it is a health risk and very upsetting to see it there so please remove it as soon as possible.

  • We have investigated this report and assessed the issue is not the responsibility of Bromley Council. This could be because the location or asset is private property, an unadopted road or beyond the maintained extent of a road. We are unable to progress this report further and this report will be closed. Please note that Bromley do not hold records of private ownership but if the information has been registered, the ownership of private land may be found via a land registry search: https://www.gov.uk/ government/ organisations/ land-registry

  • As this fox is on an official registered bridleway on the BHS Definitive Map it is the responsibility of the council to maintain all bridleways which includes removing obstacles, junk and blockages which should include dead animals on the path, so please remove it.
