Litter from grass cut
23rd September
Recently a grass cut has taken place erratically south bound, patches cut and large patches not. They have left all the litter they have cut round; barrels, old car parts, tyres the lot, the drove round it or over it. When is there an comprehensive litter pick taking place on this stretch of motorway J62 and J63 as nothing has been done for months and months! It is done twice a year apparently! They also didn't do the central reservation around Washington around any bridges or where the crash barriers join - they just left it. When are they finishing the litter pick they started at Washington but didn't finish?

Boarded up houses
1st June
These houses appear to be boarded up. The front gardens are overgrown, the wall has been smashed in. Apparently a drug dealer was living here and someone came in the middle of the night put all of the windows out and drove a truck the the front wall and when that didnt work the drove it through the back of the house. If these are council owned propertys I would appreciate if the council would fix them.

Fully van load of rubbish dumped along hard shoulder
12th February
I think this might be the result of an accident, however for about 50m there are dozens of black bags, packaging and all sorts of rubbish that has been dumped along the hard shoulder southbound between CLS and DUrham. There are skid marks on the road so I'm not sure, it is just spread a long way along. It is truly appalling amount of waste.
