Loads of litter on North and Southbound slip roads, A1 carriageway and roundabouts. Doesn't look like a litter pick has happened for years.

Thank you for contacting National Highways about litter.
The local authority is responsible for litter picking at some of the areas you have identified so we have reported it to them on your behalf.
For the areas we are responsible for, 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
