Litter on slip road
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4176507.
There is litter on the slip road from the 227 going west onto the A2. In fact both sides of the A2 from the meopham road to the southfleet turnoff are covered in litter. Some weeks ago I saw a member of public picking up litter in that spot which can't be safe!

We're sorry to hear about littering along the A2. Please be assured that litter is a serious issue, and we share your concern about the amount of rubbish that is discarded on our roads.
We carry out regular litter inspections along the A2 west from Dartford to the M2, with our most recent inspection on 26 January. Following our inspector’s recommendations, we’ve instructed our maintenance partners to arrange litter picks, starting on the eastbound carriageway including slips. In addition to litter picking, other maintenance such as grass cutting and gully clearance will be carried out.
We’ve instructed the works to be carried out within 28 days, subject to suitable traffic management approval, to provide a safe working environment for the crews. Once the eastbound verges and slips have been picked, we will turn our attention westbound.
Kind regards
National Highways
