Residents may wish to be aware of a national petition relating to litter management and the Voluntary Code of Practice for Food on the Go.

The petition calls on the Government to introduce a statutory framework to help businesses manage litter more consistently and reduce environmental impact.

The petition has been shared locally following recent community litter picking activity and related discussions on litter management.

Further information, including details of the proposal and how to respond, can be found on the UK Parliament website:
