Abhorrent amounts of litter
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7290815.
To be honest, your entire network needs tidying up. The m20 and M2 are bother littered on the verges with cans, bottles and plastic, discarded cones etc etc. You are failing in your statutory duty to maintain and clean the highways. However the areas and slips around jnc 2 of the M2 are acutely bad. See pictures

Thank you for contacting National Highways about litter.
We’re currently in the process of conducting litter clearance activities from junction 6 of the M2 up to the A2 junction with the M25 in both directions. This is expected to take place in phases under overnight closures during the next few months throughout Spring and this will include junction 2 of the M2. Litter picks will also be taking place on sections of the M20.
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
