EVERYONE is being urged to play their part in eliminating litter and fly-tipping from Wales’ cities, seas and countryside. The Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs Lesley Griffiths, launched her new plan: ‘A Litter and Fly-tipping Free Wales’, which outlines how the Welsh Government intends to crack down on the issue, while inviting anyone in Wales to submit their own ideas on how to tackle the problem. Ms Griffiths said: “There are no excuses for littering and fly-tipping. I want to see an end to these antisocial behaviours which are a blight on our streets, beaches and countryside, with the cost of clearing often borne by the public.

Consumers are instead turning to no or low alcohol options: CGA research shows that one in three (32%) adults has tried a no or low alcohol beer, wine or spirit in the last six months.
