Uncleared Debris along Central barrier

Reported via mobile in the Main Carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 08:31, Sat 13 September 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8159380.

There is miles of uncleared debris left in situ for years along this All Lanes Running section of M1 between junctions 16-19. The volume of large uncleared whole and shredded tyres, car parts and large objects is unmatched on the network. Get this cleared and swept for safety of road users! This is complete neglect and is totally unacceptable and shows zero ability from your inspectors to do their jobs.

Updates

  • 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
