Litter all down the A12

Reported via mobile in the Main Carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 22:41, Saturday 15 February 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7140231.

There is litter all down both sides of the A12 from Colchester to Witham. It needs to be collected as it causing harm to the environment and is digusting to see this amount of litter on a road maintained by National Highways.

What do I pay my road tax for? Surely this is maintenance for the road?

Thank you
