On behalf of flip flops, kitten heels and big fluffy boots, thanks for binning your gum when you're done This section is all about the quality of your local environment - issues such as litter, abandoned vehicles, flytipping and graffiti.

There is a direct link between the quality of life in communities, and Cleaner, Safer, Greener public spaces. There is a clear continuum from litter to more serious environmental crime. Left unchecked, dirty streets and neighbourhoods affect the perception of the local community, which can lead to anti-social behaviour and eventually serious crime.
