Litter on the slip road is appalling and worsening
Reported via Android in the Slip Roads (NH) category anonymously at 13:55, Friday 10 October 2025
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8279063.
At junction 31a sliproad, southbound, I have often seen litter. I believe the grass MAY have been cut and now the litter is appalling. Not sure if we just see more.

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
