Litter on slip road connecting M53 and M56 northbound.
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8009849.
Recent vegetation clearance has revealed a large amount of litter along the grass verges. Why do you not consider removing this at the same time? This is common sense and something which all other comparable motorway management bodies in Europe would do as a matter of course - but apparantly not something that is obvious to you for some bizarre reason. Then again your rank incompentence when it comes to litter removal is there for all to see across the network and an embarassment to this country. I look forward to you waiting for the vegetation growth so you dont need to address.

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
