Litter on side of slip road
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5685478.
For a long time there has been litter, cans and bottles at the side of the slip road. I noticed that this has been previously reported but nothing seems to happen. It needs a deep litter pick and then signs similar to those on the slip road on the M60 (Urmston junction). Where it says ' don't be a tosser, take it home'. Please get this sorted.

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’ve recently conducted our annual network wide assessment of litter build ups We’re programming work over the next two months to clear the worst affected areas.
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
