Does this mean that the council values wombats more than pensioners? I suppose they both freeze in the headlights at night.Actually, ther is a species called"wombles" in England. They seem to be inhabiting Wimbledon Common, in London, and look a lot like old age pensioners. They even made a tv serese about them?Must be our wombats relatives...........

I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the local council to request the removal of the WOMBAT CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many wombats are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
Your neighbor mis- understood the meaning of the sign ?? It is put there so motorists know that it is a good place to lay in wait for un-suspecting wombats
I posted this answer, with the hope that '' our wombat '' is lurking around out there ?? spots it ?? and decides that his GN break has been long enough, and makes an early return !!
It seems he/she was serious. 
Some mothers do 'ave 'em!
