I've had this discussion with Mike Cross. It would seem that AIS do not appear to feel thst they have any resposibility for exerting any quality control over the content of NOTAMS.

I cannot understand why but that appears to be the way they do business.

That and the general 'static' that appears to be the content of much of UK NOTAMS compared with other contries accounts for many pages of the 'rubbish' that a FIR listing accounts for.

Flying back from Macon to Aberdeen (about comparable distances either side of the FIR boundary) it was very noticeable that the listing of French NOTAMS was a tiny fraction of the listing - probably 10%.

Have we forgotten the jobsworth element?
