Cleansing of A6 and A46

Charnwood Borough Council’s waste partner Serco will be undertaking a clean-up in Spring 2024 which will see litter and debris cleared from central reservations, slip roads and laybys of the A6, A46 and part of the A607 in the borough.

The clean-up is completed twice a year and usually takes place around the same time as the clocks change in March/April and October. This is because litter becomes more visible during this time before the clean-ups are carried out due to grass verges being cut back and the increased daylight.

The clean-up is due to start on Saturday, 5 October 2024 and will be ongoing until Sunday, 27 October 2024.

A rolling lane closure will be in place while cleaning is being carried out and may cause delays.

This work will cover the main carriageway and the verges where accessible. Our waste partners Serco will clear the central reservation first until we have completed both sides of the carriageway. They will then clear the outside verges both sides.
