Sharp increase in littered laughing gas canisters reported by Keep Britain Tidy volunteers ahead of new legislation. Environmental charity hopes new law will lead to change following the recovery of thousands of industrial nitrous oxide canisters from local environments.
Well done to all the folks across Peterborough who got stuck in as part of the national Clean for the Queen initiative in the last few weeks. Their public spirited commitment to their neighbourhoods has not gone unnoticed and those groups like Keep Britain Tidy who imagined this idea are also to be congratulated. Litter is a major problem across the UK and especially in our city. The city council and Amey do their best to keep up with the growing mountain of litter with modest resources - but I fear it's a losing battle.
