Litter and rubbish on roadside verges and hedgerows

Additional Information

The government needs to develop a national strategy for dealing with the mountains of litter and rubbish which currently desecrate roadside verges and hedgerows across Britain.

The quality and visual attractiveness of our roadside verges and hedgerows are a national disgrace. Bottles, tin-cans, plastic bags and other forms of rubbish provide an unsightly backdrop to both residents and visitors from abroad as they travel around the country. The rubbish is also a potent danger to wildlife.

It is hardly an advertisement for our ‘green and pleasant land’. The sides of our roads really are depressing when compared to their equivalent in most of Europe. Britain has truly become ‘the dirty man of Europe’.
