Meeting of the Parliament 02 February 2016
The final item of business is a members’ business debate on motion S4M-14991, in the name of Cameron Buchanan, on keeping litter off the streets. The debate will be concluded without any question being put.
Motion debated,
That the Parliament notes with concern the amount of litter on Scotland’s streets and waterways, including around the Lothian region; notes the view that the lasting way to tackle littering is through changes in attitude, including through wide-ranging programmes to inform members of the public; believes that, although showing a willingness to challenge a person littering in public is helpful, ultimate responsibility lies with the litterers themselves; considers that the work that local authorities do to clean up litter is an unwelcome burden, and applauds the work of charities and community campaigners, such as Leithers Don’t Litter, which resolve to set an example and keep Scotland’s streets tidy.
