What the petition asks
Litter along many major roads has increased over the years. I feel the country is becoming swamped in a sea of mess. This problem is even more visible than plastics in the oceans and needs to be addressed. The Government should increase funding to Highway Agencies for clearance of roadside litter.
There's not a major road in the country that's free of discarded items, including plastics, paper, discarded tyres and even furniture. I feel that central government must, take a lead, so that a campaign to remove litter from major roads and restore national pride in our countryside and cities can be started.
