Litter is a disgrace all over the road verges along A1 and A638 areas and fast food cabins in vicinity make matters worse.

  • Thank you for contacting National highways on the 28 January with regards to litter along the A1. We understand your concerns regarding this issue. Managing litter/debris and its removal is a constant battle on the motorway and trunk road network. As an organisation we collect more than 7,500 tonnes of litter from our roads each year. In general, I can advise as part of our strategy we deliver national and local campaigns to discourage littering, place signs at hot spots advising when the area was last cleaned and how much litter we have collected. We also work with local authorities to coordinate litter picking activity and work with motorway services to discourage littering. Please see the attached link to our strategy https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/ government/ uploads/ system/ uploads/ attachment_data/ file/ 937593/ MCR19_0231_-_Highways_England_Litter_Strategy_Update_2020_rev_11-20.pdf . As a standard we carry out cyclic maintenance on the whole of the network twice a year this covers all aspects of general maintenance including litter picking, drainage and lighting inspections and sweeping etc.

    State changed to: Fixed
