Written question asked by Andrew Gwynne (Labour) on Monday, 2 March 2015, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 4 March 2015. It was answered by John Hayes (Conservative) on Monday, 9 March 2015 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


M60 and M67

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the carriageway, hard shoulder, slip roads, embankments and central reservations of the M67 and M60 will next be cleaned of litter and fly tipping.

Answer

An inspection is currently ongoing with the condition of all areas of the motorway, including the embankments, being assessed. This assessment will apply a grading for both litter and refuse found in accordance with the Code of Practice which supplements the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and which specifies standards of cleanliness and response times.

Any restoration measures are required to take place within timescales that accord with the Code of Practice. It specifies 14 days for slip road carriageways, their hard shoulders, verges and embankments. It specifies 28 days (or as soon as is reasonably practicable) for main line carriageways, their central reserves, hard shoulders, verges and embankments.
