Litter issue

Reported via mobile in the Vegetation (grass/hedges/trees) (NH) category anonymously at 20:36, Tue 15 February 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3314400.

There is a huge amount of litter on the central reservation and along the hard shoulder… the litter in the central reservation has been chopped up by guys cutting the grass. Surely litter needs collecting before the grass cutters start?

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways regarding litter on the A1(M). We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

    We’re responsible for the cleanliness of the A1(M). We carry out weekly inspections and grade the level of litter in accordance with the Litter and Refuse Code of Practice. Any areas that fall below the required standard are cleared accordingly. Between November and January, we removed 101 bags of rubbish, 20 car tyres, one lorry tyre, three car bumpers and numerous other pieces of debris.

    We’re currently carrying out some vegetation clearance along the A1(M). This will improve both road sign visibility and of the road ahead. It has also exposed a lot of litter which has, until now, remained hidden. We’ve removed as much as possible whilst clearing the vegetation and will remove more throughout February to bring the road back to the required standard.

    Thank you again for contacting us. If you need more information about this, please feel free to contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 500 or by email at info@highwaysengland.co.uk.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
