Hats off to Danny Lucas of Littergram as The Times and The Sunday Times highlights to complete and utter failure of councils and GOV.UK to tackle the never-ending and increasing roadside #litter problem. thetimes.co.uk/article/ive-sp… Time for action Rebecca Pow National Highways Keep Britain Tidy

Tragic that Andrew Kemp's LitterCam initiative isn't been wholeheartedly embraced by councils nationwide to end the flood of roadside #litter. Only possibility of being caught will deter #tossers. ow.ly/yOnu50N92SO Time for action Rebecca Pow National Highways

.The Times and The Sunday Times is campaigning for clean seas and this article suggests that it should also be turning its attention to clean roadsides - the #litter filth of which many have to endure every day. thetimes.co.uk/article/ive-sp… Time for action Rebecca Pow National Highways Keep Britain Tidy

Selfless volunteers like Jonathan Castro work tirelessly to stem the endless tide of #litter but who could be doing so many more useful things that picking up after #tossers. thetimes.co.uk/article/ive-sp… Isn't it time to #StopTheDrop Rebecca Pow National Highways Keep Britain Tidy

Great shame that Pat Nelson's Adopt A Highway US enterprise adoptahighway.com which ensures clean roadsides at not cost wasn't welcomed by UK. Would have put an end to roadside #litter thetimes.co.uk/article/ive-sp… Time for action Rebecca Pow National Highways Keep Britain Tidy

Great to see JointWasteSolutions adopting QR codes to facilitate the reporting of overflowing bins An idea we first talked about in 2012. x.com/ZilchUK/status… but so disappointing that they are not uniquely coded for each specific bin - so easily done! @SurreyHeath Woking Council


Great to see The Telegraph highlighting the blight that is #dogfouling in the British countryside telegraph.co.uk/travel/travel-… Dog DNA registration as provided by PooPrints is the solution that would eliminate the problem once and for all. Why not @DefraGov Thérèse Coffey Rebecca Pow

A visit to Taiwan by columnist Janice Turner is what's needed to demonstrate that taking responsibility for your own rubbish is a deeply cultural phenomenon. Will it ever be possible to change that for those slobs that are British? Keep Britain Tidy Rebecca Pow Thérèse Coffey


The proceeds of Sir Mike Penning's Westminster debate on #Litter on Motorways now available for viewing online ukparliament.shorthandstories.com/cet-litter-mot… Great to have him raising this issue but is anything being done as a result? National Highways LitterCam Keep Britain Tidy


Best way to "eliminate all avoidable waste" Rebecca Pow is not to buy it in the first place. Who needs water in a bottle when it's available, often better, via a tap? Incentivise consumers to avoid waste by making them pay for the rubbish they produce. thetimes.co.uk/article/plasti…

Do RT to thank and encourage wasdalewomble and other #litter pickers everywhere to keep up their good work until the scourge of irresponsibly discarded rubbish can be eliminated.

Thought there had been a typo in the headline but no... British litter-pickers win gold at Japan's World Cup telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202… Could such competition catch on in the UK - so much easier to find #litter here Keep Britain Tidy Clean Up Britain


Great to see Clean Up Britain taking National Highways to court again for their failure to keep our roadsides clean thetimes.co.uk/article/80-can… Shame it's necessary. Wishing #litter pickers and those who campaign to end the irresponsible disposal of rubbish all the best for the New Year

The UK's #litter problem is out of control says Victoria Moore and she's absolutely right, highlighting the lack of political will to solve the problem. Such a shame in what might otherwise be a beautiful country. Keep Britain Tidy


Litter as a symptom of Broken Britain Rosa Silverman's report in The Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/1… Sadly, and despite all the enthusiasm and ideas for tackling the problem it's just getting worse. Doesn't much affect those in positions of power and influence and too difficult...




Great to see Clean Up Britain still pressing for more to be done to end the tide of filth engulfing the country telegraph.co.uk/gift/4ba201343… < it's not just councils who don't care, it's tossers too!
