Anyone had any experience of getting the council to remove a dead fox rom a private garden?

We woke to find a dead fox in the garden this morning. The Lewisham Council helpline is closed, presumably until after the bank holiday. I reported it online and got a message on-screen saying someone would come to pick it up today"as an emergency". That was about 11.00 a.m. and nobody has come round and there is no number to call. I'm starting to fear that, despite what they tell you in messages on the website, Lewisham Council might only collect dead animals on Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays.

Does anyone know what is meant to happen in these instances? Failing that, does anyone know of other organisations that will take on the unwholesome task of removing the dead fox? I'm not really up to digging a four foot hole to drop it in.

Thanks
