  • When is anyone going to clear the A45 and A43 of the disgusting rubbish on the road sides. Northamptonshire is an eyesore when driving. It looks worse than a third world country. No effort has been made to clear the rubbish, except for the local volunteers who do an amazing job in Grea Doddington. What do we pay our taxes for?

  • 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
