Car debris & litter
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5490483.
There was a minor road traffic accident directly behind our building (M27 Westbound just after J9) on Tuesday afternoon involving two vehicles. The vehicles were moved to lane one before being removed.
However, after they were removed I noticed there is a fair amount of debris and litter outside the barrier (image available). We make a conscious effort to remove any litter from the rear of our premises, partly to ensure that nothing gets blown onto the carriageway, so it seems a bit ironic that this has been left here and I wondered whether there are plans to get it cleared up? We would happily do it but unfortunately there is a deep ditch between us and the barrier so we can’t gain access.

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
