Closed petition Drivers who drop litter should be made to clear litter from the roadsides.
Punish litter dropping drivers by giving them the unpleasant job of clearing roadsides of litter, allowing local councils to spend resources in other areas.
More details
Roadside litter in the UK is out of control, it is a national disgrace and embarrassment. The easiest way to deal with it is to create a deterant to stop people doing it in the first place, which will also save cash strapped councils a fortune in cleaning costs.
Any offence should result in four , six hour supervised roadside cleaning shifts as community service, over one month or a ten thousand pound fine.

What are Westminster Hall debates?
Westminster Hall is the second Chamber of the House of Commons.
Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to raise local or national issues and receive a response from a government minister. Any MP can take part in a Westminster Hall debate.
Debates in Westminster Hall take place on ‘general debate' motions expressed in neutral terms. These motions are worded ‘That this House has considered [a specific matter]'. This means that Westminster debates don’t end in a vote on a particular action or decision.
