The $30 million challenge

Reform UK has pledged to introduce tougher fines and regulations to tackle litter and fly-tipping in Britain, with a focus on increasing fines and enforcement action in the councils it controls in England.. The party wants to rekindle the public's sense of civic pride and will institute a National Action Day to tackle rubbish, where politicians from all parties will lead local clean-ups.

According to Reform UK, the state of Britain's streets, parks, and countryside is one of the clearest signs of the country's decline under successive Conservative and Labour governments. Deputy Leader Richard Tice stated, 'The state of our streets, parks, and countryside is one of the clearest signs of Britain's decline under successive Conservative and Labour governments.'
