Keeping Britain tidy costs millions. Should there be stricter fines for litter louts? 

It costs £858 million to pick up litter each year, according to Keep Britain Tidy.

This figure has gone up by almost £100 million in just one year.

Samantha Harding, manager of the Campaign to Protect Rural England’s Stop the Drop Campaign, says: “We must make littering as unacceptable as vandalism.”
