M42 JUNCTION 2 TO JUNCTION 6 ( NEC ) litter

Reported via desktop in the Main Carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 21:19, Monday 23 February 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8984515.

There is a lot of litter and old roadwork signs on the side of the above section of motorway and service roads. I have reported this twice before please do not send me a generic response. I am after dates and an action plan. If this is not possible how do I escalate?

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
