Litter on North and Southbound Slip Roads
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9186708.
There are very substantial amounts of litter and detritus on both slip roads at J29A of the M1, which extend down on to the verges alongside the motorway. I use these roads regularly to access the M1 and began to notice this issue over a year ago. Sadly there are also sheets of plastic packaging, plastic bags tape, and the like caught in and under foliage in various places. What a mess :(

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
