Use CCTV to prosecute people who throw litter from vehicles

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Roadside litter is a problem across the country and apart from collecting it we do little to prosecute offenders despite having the tech to make this possible.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
