Mattress
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9773796.
There is a double mattress dumped at the top of the bank just off the A50 lay-by, this whole hedge line is increasingly being used as a public toilet by drivers, a clear path up from the lay-by and along the fence line has been made, with urine bottles, faeces, piles of dirty toilet roll making the area smell and attracting flies. Not to mention the risk to children who help with the horses in the fields beyond. It seems a high likelihood that someone will expose themselves as this is taking place right next to the boundary fence and in daylight hours. What3words is ///overdone.jumped.rings

Thank you for contacting National Highways.
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 and fly tipping 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
