Masses of litter
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7351185.
There is soooo much litter along the slip roads, both London- and southbound. These are real hotspots for litter and need to be prioritised for more frequent litter clearance than they currently are. I saw cars swerving to avoid litter tumbling into the road from the verges and it’s dangerous. I think signs need to be put up all along the slip roads and even better still, cameras to catch them in the act. If there is lots of litter then people will be more inclined to add to it.

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
