What does Northampton Borough Council do to try to prevent or reduce litter?
The Street Care Services section does the following to reduce the amount of litter created in the town: • Investigate incidents of fly tipping on council land and prosecute offenders where possible • Investigate complaints of refuse sacks being put out too early and take legal action when possible • Take legal action where legal powers are available to require businesses such as take-aways to keep their area clean, and to issue Fixed Penalty Notices to people who drop litter.
