Litter everywhere, particularly at end of roundabout joining onto holyport
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5717746.
Absolute state the a404, whole length on both sides and holyport roundabout/junction. Embarrassment and depressing motorway to drive down. Been littered for far too long without any clearing. Please address. I know i'm not the only to complain.
Year today a 3 day litter clearup was done on a404. Get this done asap. Piling up is hideous and a danger to wildlife.....which still survives?

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
