The Local Environmental Quality Survey of England, is an annual report measuring the prevalence of litter and fly-tipping across 10,000 sites. It assesses the condition of the public space and also includes reports on dog fouling, graffiti and flyposting. It makes comparisons to previous years and recommends improvements. The survey is carried out by ENCAMS which runs the Keep Britain Tidy campaign.
