Both northbound and southbound carriageways (A3, A3(M)) for the whole stretch from Petersfield to the coast is literally covered in litter. I appreciate it is probably a 'culture' issue but, nevertheless, it is an eyesore in the extreme.
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7283868.
I appreciate that it looks worse because of the time of year (no leaves, winds blowing litter about) but surely something can be done soon. It has been like it for months, at least.

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.
Litter on the A3 is the responsibility of the local authority and should be reported to them for litter collection.
Kind regards
National Highways
