LITTER ON RAILWAY SITES

Early day motion 824, tabled 5 February 2007 by David Crausby (Labour). Signed by 60 members.

That this House notes with concern the unacceptable problem of fly-tipping and litter on railway embankments and stations and on land adjacent to railways; further notes that the problem is exacerbated because the land is often owned by different authorities; and calls on the Government to bring forward measures that bring contractors under one umbrella by introducing regulations requiring landowners to work in partnership when cleaning their individually-owned sites.
