Litter left in situ all along verges after cutting
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 10056883.
The litter has not been adequately picked after recent cutting of the verges? Why is this M1 always so littered when other Area Teams are able to keep their sections of M1 litter free?

Thank you for contacting National Highways about litter.
Litter should now have been cleared. An issue occurred whilst cutting which restricted the litter picking activity on the night, but this was rectified over the following shifts once all verges had been cut.
A further litter pick has been advised due to volume collected, but this will be undertaken in October.
Littering by people is, unfortunately, a behaviour that has a big impact on some parts of our roads. We aim to keep our roads as tidy and free of litter as we can. Our litter picking is carefully planned to try to minimise the impact it has on road users and the safety of our people.
Litter picks often require lane closures, which are disruptive to traffic flow. To help reduce the frequency of this disruption, where we can, we usually combine our reactive litter picks with other maintenance work which can result in what appears to be a delayed response.
Kind regards
National Highways
