Please give reason(s) for your answer.
I believe litter and flytipping results in areas looking unkept which then allows for behaviours and attitudes to follow
I report all people doing this not that I have seen any changes but I will continue to do so as I respect my area my neighbourhoods and I believe a health clean neighbourhood promotes good culture and attitudes in all people

Awareness raises the profile that it is not acceptable and it won't be tolerated
