Local environmental quality

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.
