I threatened Dartford Borough Council in Kent because they were not cleaning the six lane A2 dual carriageway to a standard. After three weeks of emails, Dartford cleaned the road to removal all the litter and are now looking to increase their cleaning regime from every 2 months to once a month, still not enough in my opinion. I will keep the pressure up until they start resourcing this road correctly.

Many local authorities lack either the resources, the initiative or the interest to enforce the Act. It cost a lot of money to get this Act through parliament and under statute, so the least we can expect is that the local authorities actually enforce its provisions. You can report reluctant authorities to DEFRA.
