Litter on motorways

Early day motion 61, tabled 15 November 2023 by Mike Penning (Conservative). Signed by 7 members.

That this House deplores the huge amount of litter on motorways, access road, junctions and verges; notes that there is a crystal clear legal obligation on National Highways to ensure roads are kept clear of litter; and calls on National Highways to act on this obligation, use motorway gantries to promote anti-littering messaging, ensure staff and contractors remove signs, sandbags and cones following roadworks in a timely manner and ensure contracts include financial penalties for not doing so.

Signatures by party: Conservative 3, DUP 1, Independent 1, Labour 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
