There is a theory the urban fox population increased over the last twenty to thirty years to escape the hunts in the countryside. My theory includes this, but adds that the nature of our lifestyles produce more food waste and therefore a extra temptation and a continuing food supply. I currently cannot find anything to suggest that the urban fox population has increased significantly over recent years.

Well perhaps you should factor in the idi....er people who purposefully feed foxes as if they were some endangered species instead of one of our most successful predators.I think that is one reason why we could have so many urban foxes
I seriously doubt that foxes think aha! I'll be off to town to escape the huntsman...
To be honest that report seemed to be very vague as to definite facts and seemed to be mainly about supposition and vaguely mentions percentages but is fairly vague about overall numbers.It's very hard to come to any conclusion.It's all may be(s),possibles,probably, could be(s)
In fact it seems that no one could actually come up with any outright certainty about anything..
