Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 February 2026

Debate

Smart Motorways

Contribution

The noble Lord touches on a very sensitive point. The ward in Leeds that I represented had the M1 going right through it, and all the litter on the side of the motorways was the responsibility of National Highways. It is a crucial factor, particularly where safety is involved. Given the new smart technology that so many people have in their cars, their ability to report things as soon as they see them should help with improving the performance.
