Litter on slip roads

Reported via mobile in the Slip Roads (NH) category anonymously at 18:04, Saturday 15 February 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7139635.

All the slip roads on and off the M3 at J4 are covered in litter and has been for months if not years. For the off slip heading southbound the vegetation has been recently cut back without clearing the litter first. This has turned thousands of pieces of litter into tens of thousands of pieces of litter. In addition to clearing up the current litter suggest you get your contractor in the future to clear litter before cutting back vegetation.

  • 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
