We already use targeted messages through information campaigns and are exploring other ways to incentivise future behavioural change in those who drop litter. Litter Strategy – Our approach 3. Seek and respond to customer feedback A pivotal part of Highways England’s operations is listening and responding to our customers. Transport Focus has been appointed as an independent watchdog representing the interests of road users and ensuring that we take their views into account. We’re developing services and improvements in consideration of what our customers are telling us to achieve this, and better understand our customer’s expectations. We also conduct national and local customer satisfaction surveys which give feedback on our services. In addition Transport Focus conduct the National Road User Satisfaction Survey (NRUSS); this survey records satisfaction with road users’ last journey on our network. We continue to listen to customer opinions and views of how the network may be improved and from this feedback we are able to measure satisfaction with Highways England’s performance. From this research various initiatives or studies may be identified which contribute to our continuous improvement - essential to meet our customers’ expectations. 4. Improve partnership working To help tackle litter we are engaging with other organisations like Keep Britain Tidy, motorway service area operators and a number of local authorities; sharing knowledge and best practice, joint initiatives and information campaigns. We continue to extend the scope of our collaborative working arrangements; developing agreements with other key stakeholders, including local authorities and the freight and road haulage industry, to help reduce the need for litter picking on our network.

Section 2.1.3 Local Policy Context (Page 10) In addition to Policy 19, the emerging Rossendale Core Strategy also includes Policy 20: Wind Energy, which sets out the criteria against which wind energy proposals will be assessed. Section 4.1.2 General Constraints (Page 21) The list under ‘Cultural Sensitivies’ should include a reference to ‘Historic Parks and Gardens’. Section 4.1.3 Considering Suitable Locations (Page 22) It should be noted that national policy on heritage assets is set out in Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS5) (Communities & Local Government, March 2010).

    Public Consultation Report – December 2015 M6 Junction 10 Improvements Contents Section Title Page/s 1 Introduction 3-5 1.1 Main Objectives 3 1.2 Scheme Options 4 1.3 Project Timescale 5 2 Consultation exercise 6-9 2.1 Overview 6-7 2.2 Promoting the consultation 8 2.3 Questionnaires 9 3 Questionnaire results and analysis 10-18 3.1 Travel behaviour 10-12 3.2 Proposed improvement 13-18 4.0 Conclusion 19 5.0 Further information - contact details 20 6.0 Appendices 21 2 1.0 Introduction Walsall Council is working in partnership with Highways England to improve Junction 10 of the M6 motorway (M6J10). As a busy route between Walsall and Wolverhampton, the junction is often heavily congested and this reduces the attractiveness of the local area for business and investment, including within the nearby Black Country Enterprise Zone. Walsall Council and Highways England are developing plans to provide a long term improvement to M6 Junction 10. The non-statutory public consultation events held in December 2015 presented the current scheme options and sought comments and feedback to inform the final decision and help shape the design. 1.1 Main objectives of the scheme There are three main objectives of the M6J10 scheme. The first objective is to reduce congestion. By improving M6J10, congestion can be reduced on the A454 Black Country Route eastbound to improve journey time reliability. This is critical to the needs of local residents, businesses and the 120 hectares of developable land within the nearby Black Country Enterprise Zone. Congestion can be reduced on other roads linking to the junction, such as A454 Wolverhampton Road, B4464 Wolverhampton Road West and Bloxwich Lane, reducing ‘rat-running’ traffic on nearby routes parallel to the A454 Black Country Route, the A454 Wolverhampton Road and the B4464 Wolverhampton Road West.
