There is no point in having attractive surroundings if they are constantly spoilt by people dumping litter and furniture in the streets or not using the recycling correctly. Provide leaflet and news article explaining the options for unwanted household goods eg Sell in Echo paper and/or website; Sell on eBay
Small stuff - take to charity shops, or ask them to collect
Larger stuff, contact HARP or Sue Ryder who will collect
Or put on Freegle, for people to collect larger items or pay council to collect it.
Or pay £49 fine AND Community Service! Watford, Exmouth etc fine people.
No more amnesties for incorrect recycling or fly tipping: the same few people just do it again and again! - and it is only a few people but it appears more.
Rental Properties need NOT be a problem. I let out my flat and my tenants have to keep to the rules and so do I as their landlord. My flat and garden is checked its clean and tidy before the tenants move out and the next person moves in. The council must know the name and address of the landlords of property to ensure they're prosecuted if they consistently fail in their duty.
Also criminal and anti-social behaviour has become more and more a serious issue which must be addressed to improve everyone's quality of life. For the first time in my life I have been wary of even cycling during the day in certain areas on my own such as the Prittlebrook path. In the evening I always get a taxi now rather than walking home and I don't leave the house in the evening alone anymore.
