Slip roads JCT 2 M2 & both roundabouts
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5626848.
Litter all over the slip roads and both roundabouts. Please can you explain why this is not being cleared? Some areas are not being covered by your litter picks and have been left for 2 years now. It is heavily littered all the way around the roundabouts, side of the roads and verges. This junction is a problem area, please can you raise this to the relevant managers so that a proper assessment and clean is up carried out.

Thank you for contacting National Highways about litter. 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. At present, we have litter clearance planned between February and April 2024 from the M25 up to Pepperhill as part of our upcoming closures for our A2 resurfacing scheme. I can also confirm additional jobs have been raised to tackle litter along the A2 west and the M2 following our recent inspections. We also have outstanding jobs to clear the litter and debris at the A228 junction with the M2, however there’re two sections of the Wrotham Road junction we can’t shut currently, as the designated diversion route we require is being closed for 18 months whilst the local authority conduct essential work to this route, unfortunately, this won’t reopen until 2025.
Kind regards National Highways
