Written question asked by Andrew Gwynne (Labour) on Tuesday, 12 January 2016, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 14 January 2016. It was answered by Andrew Jones (Conservative) on Wednesday, 20 January 2016 on behalf of the Department for Transport.

Motorways: Greater Manchester

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will have discussions with the Highways Agency on (a) improving arrangements to clear litter and flytipping on the M67 and M60 around the Denton Interchange and (b) repairing defective lighting columns along the M67 and M60 around the River Tame.

Answer: My Department will liaise with Highways England in relation to its arrangements for clearing litter and flytipped rubbish from the M60 and M67 Motorways in the vicinity of, and at, the intersection. The discussions will also include the condition of the lighting along the M67 and the M60 near the River Tame. I would expect that Highways England officials write to you directly to ensure that this matter can be dealt with as soon as possible.
