Litter

Litter and fly-tipping have been major problems across the region for many years. As well as making people’s lives a misery and blighting the landscape and the environment, even in some of our most picturesque areas, litter and flytipping undermine the image of the region, putting off potential investors and visitors.

Litter and flytipping can also be very costly to local communities and councils.
In April 2008 CPRE’s President, Bill Bryson launched a major new campaign called ‘Stop the Drop’ aimed at raising awareness among the public, encouraging Councils to be tougher on those responsible for litter and raising the issue among politicians more widely.

Litter is not, in our view, a problem that should be swept under the carpet. You can find out much more and Take Action on litter via our National website.

CPRE in the West Midlands is also lobbying local councils and decision makers to ‘Stop the Drop’. You can read our regional press release here.
