Litter

Reported via desktop in the Litter (NH) category anonymously at 13:51, Thu 11 March 2021

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2601720.

The A38 through Plymouth from the Tamar bridge to Marsh Mills is a disgrace : the litter problem is extensive in spread and quantity. I know the problem is the Great British Public, but please clean it up. My complaint also relates to the A38 in Cornwall from the Tamar Bridge to Trerulefoot: not as bad as the appalling Plymouth mess. Unused temporary road signs should also be removed. Highways England must do better.

  • Thank you for contacting Highways England. concerning litter along the A38.

    Highways England, as the government owned company is responsible for the Strategic Road Network in England. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, we’re responsible for collecting litter/flytipping on England’s motorways and a small number of trunk roads, local authorities are responsible for collecting litter on most all-purpose trunk roads.

    Flytipping and litter removal on the A38 is the responsibility of the local authority. We have contacted Plymouth City Council who have advised us that they are litter picking the A38 this week. Tamar bridge to Trerulefoot would be the responsibility of Cornwall Council.

    Any traffic management equipment not needed for ongoing works will be removed.
