DEBRIS report NOT dropped litter
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9593288.
This is a report about dangerous and completely unacceptable levels of debris from crashes, fallen from wagons, old tyres, retreads, broken abandoned road works equipment piled up all along the central reserve. Please do not respond to this with the usual ‘littering by motorists…blah blah nonsense’ this is complete dereliction of statutory duty by NH to keep this motorway safe and free of dangerous debris. Get this cleared ASAP before someone is seriously injured or worse by flying pieces of this debris being kicked into traffic by a vehicle

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
