Rejected petition A national campaign to clean up dirty Britain. It’s a national embarrassment.

Our roads and highways are shameful and disgusting. We need a national campaign where everyone takes part and does there bit. When I was growing up we regularly had adverts telling us not to litter.

More details

Highlight the problem with national advertising. Encourage national clean up days. Encourage schools, the public, even prison offenders to get involved. If the problem is highlighted and the people get involved with clean ups and take back our streets, then perhaps people will think twice about throwing litter in the first place. Education is key!
