Litter along the Motorway verges from Junction 4 to Junction 7

Reported via desktop in the Main Carriageway (NH) category by Mrs Janet Farrell at 15:15, Fri 2 February 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5524564.

There is a lot of litter again along this stretch of the M65 on both sides of the Motorway. There is also a lot of litter on the slip roads at junction 4 which I see has already been reported to you, I understand it can take you a few weeks / months to deal with such issues. I have reported these areas previously and although you clear them they soon get littered again. This country’s roads are an absolute disgrace, I know as I am a volunteer litter picker and will pick on local roads in my area.

  • 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. We are currently undertaking network wide litter inspections and will then prioritise litter hot spots to be cleared.

    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
