Bright Blue’s littering campaign has launched in the Daily Express. We are calling for an increase in the maximum fixed penalty notice for littering to enable local authorities to adopted tougher fines towards litter louts.
In the article, Bright Blue Senior Research Fellow, Patrick Hall, was quoted: “Fines for littering are too low. Behavioural science tells us that higher fines for littering act as effective deterrents, as we have seen in much cleaner cities which are tougher on litterbugs, such as Calgary and Singapore. Governments across the UK should increase the maximum fixed penalty notices to allow local authorities to set much higher fines for littering.”
The campaign is backed by Clean Up Britain, Sea Shepherd UK, and the RSPB.
