Litter between Jct 9 M42 to A42 at M1

Reported via mobile in the Main Carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 12:03, Sat 28 December 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6904283.

The M42/A42 between junction with M6 Toll and M1 is in a truly dire state litter wise. It’s shameful how bad the sides of the motorways have been allowed to get and don’t appear to have been cleaned for months, if not more. It’s leaves a terrible impression of the region for those passing through.

Updates

  • 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
