Poll

A recent TIDY Northern Ireland survey revealed huge differences in the number of litter fines issued by councils within the province. Do you think councils should issue more fixed penalty notices to people who drop litter?

Northern Ireland Litter Summit Announced
Helping Provide Answers to Northern Ireland's Litter Questions
Friday 2nd October 2009

Plastic Bag LitterThe most comprehensive Litter Summit ever staged in Northern Ireland will be hosted by TIDY Northern Ireland later this year.

With millions of pounds spent annually cleaning the litter off our streets TIDY Northern Ireland is inviting councils (from environmental health, leisure and tourism, technical services departments, litter enforcement officers, dog wardens and anyone else with an interest in a clean Northern Ireland), NILGA, the PSNI, Housing Executive, Community Safety Partnerships, Town Centre Management and other key players to the first NI Litter Summit to share best practice and raise the bar on tackling littering and related issues.

Tailored towards specific litter issues that directly affect the province, speakers from around Northern Ireland, the UK and the Republic of Ireland will share their successes and lessons learnt from past campaigns, enforcement drives and educational activities.

TIDY Northern Ireland is in the business of changing behaviour and this summit will explore the evidence available to demonstrate what approaches work best in achieving this.

We cannot go on simply cleaning up after people. It is time to take a stand against this dirty, antisocial and sometimes dangerous littering habit. Book your place now to help make Northern Ireland a cleaner, safer place to live.
