M62 J7 Exit Slip Road - Litter and detritus
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6197190.
There are large amounts of litter and detritus on the junction 7 exit slip road on the M62, especially in the area of the traffic lights. Litter is scattered across both sides of the carriageway. To my knowledge, the area has not been cleaned for six months plus.

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
