The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to Answer of 19 March 2025 to Question 38013, what the last date of monitoring litter on the M67 and M60 in Denton was; and what grades each section were marked.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

National Highways undertakes weekly safety inspections on the M60 and M67. Although litter is not the primary purpose, it is taken into consideration as part of these inspections, and any concerns are recorded.

National Highways’ most recent inspection of the M67 and M60 in Denton took place on 20 March 2025.

The inspection identified the condition of the litter at various locations along these routes as Grade C, as defined in the Defra Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse (Code of practice on litter and refuse). National Highways is currently making arrangements for this litter to be removed.
