We are fighting dirty against litter

Litter, fly-tipping and street urination costs Richmond Council millions of pounds each year! We are fighting dirty! We have installed more bins in hot spots around the borough and increased our collections. However, many people are still leaving behind bottles, food, packets and bags in our parks, open spaces, our tow paths and on our streets. Other local action that has been taken includes; increasing police capacity and operations to target criminality, stepping up the borough's Park Guard operations, particularly over the weekends, working with local businesses to open their toilets, to combat unacceptable problems with defecation and urination and working with local supermarkets to restrict alcohol sales. Officers are also investigating the possibility of opening new public toilets in both Town Centres. We also enforce against litter and those who soil our streets, parks and open spaces. If caught – you could be fined! https://www.richmond.gov.uk/fighting_...
