North Somerset Council has stepped up its campaign to improve safety measures for hedgehogs in the area following frustration with Government criteria for road warning signs.
Members of the council have written to North Somerset MP, Dr Liam Fox, calling on him to raise the issue with other ministers.
Green Party councillor, Bridget Petty, labelled the Department for Transport criteria, specifically indicating to the evidence of personal injury accidents caused by small mammals to people before a sign can be installed in an area as ridiculous .

A sleep tech firm has launched an AI mattress that can readjust to ensure the user is in the most comfortable position throughout the night.
Called Emma Motion, the bed uses 360 motion sensors to detect even the smallest amount of pressure and reacts by moulding to the sleeper s body.
Emma Motion works for anyone regardless of how much they toss and turn to provide maximum comfort and ultimate ergonomics and also features a heat-conducting sleep that keeps users cool.
The mattress has been launched in France and Belgium this month for 2,499 euros (about £2,200) and will be released in the UK later this year.
Leaders in Europe are recklessly endangering their own public s health by using self-serving point-scoring to attack Britain s coronavirus vaccine rollout, UK health experts say.
In Britain, such attacks risk resonating with ethnic minorities who are disproportionately at risk of dying from COVID-19 but who have been subject to disinformation from religious hardliners.
But France, in particular, needs to be wary of undermining confidence given that surveys show it has the highest levels of vaccine hesitancy in Europe, according to experts responding to recent comments from President Emmanuel Macron and others. This can only be negative on the vaccine takeup in France, in Germany and others. This is bad for public health, Kent Woods, a former chief of both the UK and European Union medicines regulators, told AFP.
