A city-wide inspection has revealed the scale of Liverpool's litter and graffiti problems.
An assessment of 300 sites across the city by Keep Britain Tidy found that Liverpool’s issues were three times the national average. In a bid to combat the issues identified, Liverpool Council has launched a 12-month environmental action programme with an initial summertime focus on litter in parks and dog fouling.
The programme will be based on five principles including getting things right first time as a “huge amount” of council time and money is spent responding to littering complaints. Annually the local authority spends £9.5m on cleaning up litter.
