Major Derbyshire road reduced to one lane for '˜spring clean'
Usually the operation takes place overnight, but this year Highways England has given permission to conduct it during daylight hours and improve effectiveness.
The clean-up requires one lane of the dual carriageway to be closed, between 5am and 4pm.

“The clean-up costs the council up to £35,000, so I would appeal to motorists to dispose of litter appropriately and for drivers of commercial vehicles to ensure loads are properly secured.”
