Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways about litter on the M2 junction 4.

    We're responsible for the slip roads at this junction and we have passed your report to our local inspector who will review the issue as part of their litter surveys across our roads in the southeast during January.

    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 or full slip road 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.

    Litter clearance and other maintenance responsibilities on the roundabout circulatory and road towards Hempstead however lie with Medway Council who can be contacted at https://www.medway.gov.uk/

    Kind regards

    National Highways
