On 11 April Enfield Council announced that it was launching the Cleaner Streets Campaign, aimed at reducing littering, dog fouling, fly tipping and untidy front gardens. At present details are sketchy, but it would appear from the announcement on the Council's website and from an earlier message from the Council Leader that the campaign involves:
- cutting the cost of street cleaning by encouraging residents to "clean up after themselves" - to be achieved both by encouraging people to join "community organisations which are committed to making Enfield a cleaner and greener borough" and by punitive measures - issuing fixed penalty notices or prosecuting offenders;
- improving the appearance of streets by taking action against households which let the front of their home "deteriorate into an appalling state".
