Why just a NOTAM.

CAA should or it probably will take the necessary measure to remove the rubber deposits from the runway. Assuming it can also lead to an untoward incident (less friction etc) when a plane of any size especially the big ones touch down and slow down.

Yes. Rubber deposit removal is carried out each year but looks like this year, the initiative wasn't taken in time.
