What the petition asks
A much overdue, cheap and simple scheme for clearing up the alarming amount of litter building up across Britain. Details of the scheme below. Please feel free to promote in any way you see fit.
For the creation of a nationwide, government-run, voluntary litter clean-up scheme, where publicly funded bodies are made responsible for planning, organising and implementing litter pick-ups. The pick-ups would utilise volunteers and would be organised and controlled by the authority responsible for the area being cleaned on any particular campaign.
