LItter on embankment

Reported via desktop in the Main Carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 00:33, Sunday 21 January 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5469287.

I have reported this stretch of road for probably 3.4 years now and nothing has been done. The same rubbish is there! Never cleared, nothing changes. There is no excuse as the motorway is often closed for the nearby roadworks. This is not recent litter, this is stuff there since pre-Covid lockdowns. I can't beleive the highways can be so negligent in their duty to keep the highways clear. Without any excuses - when is it being cleared?

Updates

  • 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.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
