Disgraceful amounts of litter
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5625069.
Enormous amounts of litter all along the verge of the M5. When was the last time you even bothered to litter pick the verges. This must be years worth of litter. Makes the UK look like a tip and it's your STATUTORY duty to keep the motorways free of litter. You should be ashamed

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 next annual litter pick of the M5 is due in August.
Kind regards
National Highways
