Id like to make a general complaint about the disgusting state of the whole stretch of the M65. Litter on verges for thd whole length. Beggars belief that Highways England clsim to litter pick roads. Needs sorting out asap.
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7183112.
M65 motorway resembles third world. Travelled along it yesterday Sunday 23rd February. The litter is awful, it's everywhere. Highways England clearly don't litter pick that road. I thought they had a Statutory Duty to keep motorway free from litter and debris as is practically possible. This is clearly not thd case. Ashamed to be British!!

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
