Over the last few years we have seen a steady increase in the amount of litter being thrown on our roads, paths, countryside and more. One thing that is clear is our retailers and fast food outlets are not doing their part to help keep our country clean. The UK is blighted by waste and its ruining all of our green spaces. 

There are many amazing volunteer groups starting up to fight back against the sheer volumes of waste! We need to make it mandatory for every shop, retail outlet and fast food outlet to clean in and around their premises and have bins outside. 

Please sign and help raise this issue as high as we can get it. 

I run the Hartlepool Big Town Tidy Up group - ina single year we have removed over 12,000 bags of litter from out streets! 12,000 by volunteers!
