Demise of the Hedgehog in Urban areas dovetails with the rise of the Urban Fox.
Yet Urban Foxes unlike their country cousins are Scavengers not predators.
So they have possibly helped themselves to some of the pickings that Urban Hedgehogs used to rely on.

Locally there were a lot of hedgehogs in the 70s but started to disappear in the 80s yet nothing has really changed in the places they were often regularly seen.

There are still gardens, parks, shrubberies but far less maintenance so a lot of packed down soil that makes foraging very hard and a huge increase in Brown Rats who are the Hedgehogs most serious predator.
