<p>Defra and the Department for Communities and Local Government are working on the
Litter Strategy for England to improve the way we all tackle the scourge of litter.
We have an ambitious goal, to substantially reduce litter and littering in England,
ensuring that our communities, natural landscape, roads and highways are clean and
pleasant.</p><p> </p><p>The Strategy will focus on three key themes: education and
awareness; punishing offenders; and better cleansing and litter infrastructure. These
will be backed up by specific actions under each objective.</p><p> </p><p>We have
established a Litter Strategy Advisory Group. We held a Litter Forum earlier this
year to gather stakeholder views for the Strategy’s content and have begun working
with a wide range of stakeholders to develop our approach. We will publish the Strategy
this year and a great deal of work will be taken forward in the coming months.</p>
