Rejected petition Hold a UK wide review of litter policy & policing to make the UK a cleaner place

We need a different approach to tackle litter in our communities. We would like all UK administrations to collaborate to collectively review litter policy - this includes education, community empowerment, funding, policing and enforcement to better solve this national problem.

More details

Litter has been well documented in the media recently but is a systemic issue faced by us all that ignores government boundaries.

Challenging the acceptance of litter & reducing the litter on our streets will make all nations of the UK cleaner & better place to lives.

Better educating & empowering young people will be a key part of tackling this problem, which should start at the youngest age possible.

Exploring the empowerment of communities & economic opportunities will also be key.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The issue of litter policy is the responsibility of local authorities and devolved administrations not the UK Government. You could start a petition calling for a Government review into tackling littering in England, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
