Hedgehog Statue Stolen from Oldham Depot Ahead of Nature Trail Installation

A carved wooden hedgehog has disappeared from the Groundwork depot in Oldham, prompting local officials to believe it was stolen. The artwork, created by a local artist, was scheduled to become part of a new nature trail in Lees.

Councillor Sam Al-Hamdani, who represents Saddleworth and Lees, expressed his frustration over the incident. “This is the second time that we have been hit by this - [another bear statue] was damaged by vandals shortly after it was installed, and has had to be repaired,” he said.

The missing hedgehog was discovered after depot staff conducted an extensive search of the facility. The statue was intended to join an acorn statue along the Medlock Valley, creating an art trail that includes installations at the linear park in Clarksfield.

“There is so much going on in our area to make our villages a real community, and it is incredibly sad when such selfish behaviour damages it,” Al-Hamdani added. “We just want people to contribute to the lovely villages and see a bit less of the anti-social behaviour that’s undermining them.”

The council’s parks team has committed to funding a replacement hedgehog using grant money allocated for area improvements. Groundwork officials confirmed they are working on a timeline for installing new statues to complete the trail.

“We are really upset about the theft of the hedgehog,” a Groundwork spokesperson said.
