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

Thank you for contacting National Highways.
We’ve checked the slip roads in and around the M4 from and to the A329M and we wasn’t able to see anything resembling rolls of carpet at the side of the road. This may be a matter for the local authority to follow up on, but if you notice anything further please let us know so we can review again.
Please contact them to resolve this issue. Contact details for local authorities can be found by using the search facility at:
