A huge amount of litter on slip road verge

Reported via desktop in the Slip Roads (NH) category anonymously at 21:53, Thursday 27 February 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7201862.

There is a lot of litter on the verge coming off M58 towards Pimbo, including police tape flapping. It looks like a rubbish heap and has been like that for months but is just building up.

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.

    Please note: We are responsible for roads shown in blue on the map. Roads shown pink are the responsibility of the local authority. Please contact them directly if your concerns relate to local authority roads.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
