I used to have a badger in my previous garden - and it's true that they can cause a lot of mess digging up the lawn etc. Predominantly, and luckily for us, the badger run was at the very end of the garden the other side of a leat, so the amount of damage wasn't too bad. But I was advised that they are deterred by human urine - male only! So if you are able to find suitable parts of the garden that can be sprinkled regularly, that may help to deter them. (I don't know whether this really works or is an Old Wives' Tale - but it sounds credible).
If you're unsure about how to deal with the implications of badgers in your garden you can approach Natural England, your local Wildlife Trust or your local badger group (if there is one).

Look at: 'Badgers: protection and licences' on the Gov.uk website.
Badgers will only eat hedgehogs when there is no other food source available to them that's easier to eat.
If a badger was dipping up your garden - wouldn't you want to do something about it?
Its a difficult situation really. I hope that some how it can be sorted out.
It is ripping up my grass and my only complaint is that I haven't seen it in action
In the sticks near Peterborough
I meant digging of course

Most old wives tales have a certain truth to them - try it?
