Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government who is responsible for removing roadside litter along the M11 motorway; when roadside litter on the M11 was last cleared; and how frequently litter-clearing operations are undertaken on that motorway.

National Highways is responsible for clearing litter between junctions 4 and 14 of the M11, and it inspects the motorway fortnightly to monitor any build-up of litter. It also undertakes additional litter collection activity alongside routine maintenance works. Between junctions 4 and 6, litter was last collected on 12 August. Litter collection is currently underway between junctions 6 and 14 and is planned to be completed by 29 October.
