The litter on this motorway is horrendous, central reservation are never cleared you say you have a responsibility to clear but NEVER clear it, millions of people do travel along this motor way the same as I do and I see the same plastic in the same positions as I have for the last few years. Highways agency is doing a terrible job keeping on top of this and should be ashamed of how the network currently looks

Thank you for contacting National Highways regarding litter on the M60 from junction 3 to Ashton under Lyne. Litter picking on this route is the responsibility of National Highways. 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
