KEEP BRITAIN TIDY & PICK UP LITTER

Petition Details

There is so much litter and rubbish in our roads and countryside! As a volunteer who walks around my local town picking up litter, I am always astounded at the amount of rubbish lying around....cigarette boxes, vape boxes, sweet wrapping, cans. It's disgusting!

Additional Information

This is a national disgrace! Which ever part of the country you are in, it is inevitable that you will see litter; some areas worse than others.The government needs to reinforce fines for discarding litter and bring back the Keep Britain Tidy campaign.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:


We understand that you are concerned about litter, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There are already fines for littering. Enforcing these is a matter for local authorities, the police and the courts, not the Government or Parliament.

We can't accept petitions calling on the Government to support particular charities, but could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding for schemes aimed at tackling litter.
