Please sort the terrible litter that collects around our local supermarket.

What the petition asks

Every day on my way to school I pass Mudchute Farm. The path between there and Asda is always full of litter. It's disgusting. The same is true for the path between Asda and East Ferry Road. This poisons local animals: I once saw a squirrel eating plastic! It's cruel, depressing and heartbreaking.

Volunteers do help, but the litter is continuous. I am aware that the car parking around Asda is cleaned every morning, is there a possibility that our local council could do the same for those two paths? Or perhaps the volunteers could clean up more often? That way we can ensure that our city is safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Litter collection and enforcement of littering offences are a matter for your local authority and police force, not the UK Government or Parliament.
