Litter

Reported via Android in the Slip Roads (NH) category anonymously at 12:56, Sat 18 January 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6998298.

M1 nothing j31 exit slip absolutely covered in bottles can shredded tyres and plastic the whole way up the slip road. Can hardly see the grass underneath in places. Looks like something from a third world country. Shameful

Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways about litter on the M1 junction 31.

    We have been to all four slips in the past 2 months but this really is a problematic area that we keep putting people out on the network and closing slip roads for excessive amounts of litter.

    We are working as fast as we can, where roadspace allows to clear these slips. We will do so again in the next 28-days

    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
