M6 from junction 30 to Junction 13
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7738054.
A huge amount of debris along the central reservation run off all along this stretch of the M6. Must have seen at least 30 shredded tires! This feels excessive for a relatively short stretch of road. Is there something on the road surface that is causing unusually high amounts of blowouts or have the sides of the motorway just not been cleaned up recently? Thanks

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
