Roads: Litter

Question

Asked by Lord Marlesford

The Secretary of State for Transport (Lord Adonis): Section 89 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 places a duty on the Highways Agency to remove litter from motorways in England. Responsibility for removing litter from the all-purpose trunk road network, with the exception of roads managed by a "design, build, finance, operate" company lies with local authorities.

Litter collection on motorways is one of the numerous duties carried out as part of the Highway's Agency's routine maintenance function and costs for individual activities are not recorded separately. It is therefore not possible to provide costs for litter collection.
