Question
What steps is the Cabinet Secretary taking to ensure that local authority run litterpicks are taking place regularly?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
We provide funding to Keep Wales Tidy to support litter picking activities undertaken by volunteers and community groups. They do this in partnership with Local Authorities who can help identify problem areas to target and remove the waste collected.
This supports Local Authority cleansing activities undertaken to meet their statutory duties for keeping land they are responsible for clear of litter and refuse.
