We pay our council tax, of which part goes towards clearing litter.
In our area, young offenders, who have been given community service orders, are used for this purpose and also in the local nature reserves we have in the area, for the upkeep of paths, fencing, and steps.
Doesn't the local authority, together with the Police and Probation Service do this sort of thing in your areas.
