Extraordinary amount of litter on both London bound slip and Coast Bound exit.
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5443294.
Appalling amount of litter on the slip roads London bound entrance and Coast bound exit including the roundabouts. This has been reported countless times and still no action has been taken. I would expect this to have been cleared in 2023 given the number of reports, and an update provided to explain why this has not been carried out thus far. Winter is the perfect time to do this as the vegetation is low lying and trees/shrubs are without leaves.
I will gladly do it myself if nothing happens, trespass or not.

Thank you for contacting National Highways about litter.
We have passed your report to our local inspector who will review the issue as part of their next safety inspection and arrange any remedial action.
Littering by people is, unfortunately, a behaviour that has a big impact on some parts of our roads. We aim to keep our roads as tidy and free of litter as we can. Our litter picking is carefully planned to try to minimise the impact it has on road users and the safety of our people. Litter picks often require lane closures, which are disruptive to traffic flow. To help reduce the frequency of this disruption, where we can, we usually combine our reactive litter picks with other maintenance work which can result in what appears to be a delayed response.
Our team are doing a litter survey currently to assess which areas need to be to prioritised.
Kind regards
National Highways
