<p>The second Road Investment Strategy (2020-25) includes a litter performance indicator,
in line with the Code of practice on litter and refuse published by Department for
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). National Highways is committed to annually
reporting against this performance indicator. In 2021/22 National Highways reported
that 60.8% of relevant parts of the Strategic Road Network had no litter, refuse or
detritus, or was predominately free of litter, refuse or detritus apart from some
small items. The 2022/23 report will be made available to the Department, the Office
of Rail and Road, and published in annual reports to Parliament, this summer.</p>
