Peter

Really glad to see the sterling efforts you have made against the HA along the M40. I have been battling with Area 4 HA which covers the network in Kent. After years of battling with Kent County Council intervention, the HA maintain the A2 in North Kent on the ‘fringe’ of the EPA 1990. The M20 is maintained free of litter to a higher standard because it is a tourist route to Dover and the politicians use it to access the county town of Maidstone.

Area 4 has trouble clearing the A2 and M2 between Dartford and Faversham, especially between Dartford and Gillingham Kent. You have inspired me to enforce the EPA 1990 against the HA.

Well Done!

I just have just read the piece in the Guardian about you and how your campaign began. This is fantastic work you are doing, please keep it up!
I am currently based in Los Angeles, which has it’s own litter problems but I have been inspired by the work you are doing and plan to work with my son’s school to address the problem of litter locally!
Many thanks

Well done Peter for showing the way.

I have often been appalled at the state of the highways and having read your article in “the week” I was very compelled to trace the root of the story. you have done a great job at explaining the process and I am sure the information will be helpful to lots of people.

Comment on Taking action – Litter Abatement Orders by Peter Silverman

Kirsten, in the case of the municipal flower bed you should follow the procedure I describe on the “Taking legal action” page. If they fail to respond to an informal complaint send them an EPA Section 91 Notice. Just change “highway” to “land”. That should do the trick. If not please get back to me.

“Urban areas” is a bit vague. Can you be more specific?

Thanks for your interest and support

Dear Peter, very inspired by your lead. Is it possible to do the same thing to enforce London borough councils (and their contractors) to clear up litter from urban areas and in particular municipal flower beds?

I hope so!

Best wishes

Well done – on many occasions I have been appalled by all the litter on the M40 verges. I thought, maybe one day the Highways Authority will eventually clean up the mess. Congratulations for all your hard work in resolving this matter.

Very Interested to see the outcome of your case.

Why don’t we ever target the litterers? I’m sure the people trying to pick up the litter are doing their best.
