The Highways Agency's new maintenance contract for trunk roads and motorways within the geographical area known as Area 10, commenced in early November 2012. The Highways Agency has addressed performance issues that emerged during the early months of the new contract, and the new litter inspection and clearance regime is firmly established.

Work to remove litter from the slip roads at Junctions 1, 1A, and 2, of the M67 motorway, and Junctions 23 and 24 of the M60, is currently being scheduled.

I have asked the Highways Agency to inform you of its planned schedule for clearing litter from these locations once this has been finalised. A copy of the letter will be placed in the Libraries of the House.
