Campaigners are demanding action with England turned into a 'disgusting, filthy, rancid country'
Anti-litter campaigners say Lancashire's motorways and A-roads have been left to look like a "filthy, littered dump" with bottles, packets and rubbish piling up.
According to reports, a leading law firm has been instructed to write to the government agency warning that it is ‘in flagrant and systemic breach of its duties’ for failing to clear the roads. Highways England has defended its record, saying it spends millions of pounds each year on litter picking work.Clean Up Britain recently highlighted the example of the M6 and M58 interchange in West Lancashire as a particularly bad example.
John Read, the group's founder, said: "We go around the country and we film motorways and major A roads just to show the public because this is the important thing - the British public need to see what a disgusting, filthy, rancid country they live in. It's really sad to say that but it's true.
