Filthy roundabouts - neglected by NH

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 05:18, Saturday 15 March 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7281442.

Roundabouts and slip roads and verges at Ebbsfleet junction are filthy. Litter everywhere. Old road signs, cones, metal frames etc all left for months on end. Verges not cut, roundabouts overgrown and strewn with litter. This needs following up as should be part of routine maintenance but clearly isn’t being covered

Updates

  • Thank you for making your report. Our records show, vegetation work at this location was last conducted as part of previous litter picking work in February 2025 and our next cyclic work at this location is expected during May and June 2025.

    We've raised your comments with our local team to review this location and assess the issue. If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections until our cyclic work takes place.

    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.

    Regarding traffic management equipment, we've requested that our traffic management partners return and clear any disused traffic management equipment that is no longer used within the next 7 days.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
