Masses of Litter
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4240923.
The roadsides / slip roads / roundabouts are swarming with litter & other assorted debris. Absolute disgrace. Driving the motorway miles I do, I can safely report this is true of nearly all motorways in the north of England.

Thank you for your report concerning litter at M65 junction 10. Over recent weeks we’ve conducted a network wide inspection to identify locations of litter build ups.
Millions of customers travel on our network daily and despite our best efforts to clear it, our network quickly becomes littered with rubbish from vehicles and unsecured loads. We follow Defra legislative requirements under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA). This imposes a duty on us to keep public highways within our network clear of litter and refuse. Defra’s Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse 2006 provides a practical guide to meeting the duties under the EPA.
We expect locations identified as being below the standards required in the Code of Practice will be cleared by the end of March 2023.
If you would like a more detailed response on this matter, please contact our 24hr Customer Contact Centre • Email – info@nationalhighways.co.uk • Tel: 0300 123 5000
Kind regards
National Highways
