Akaal supports the Governments initiative to crack down on the waste and carelessness that destroys our natural environment. In increasing penalties for fly-tipping, making those on community sentences clean up their parks and streets, and introduce a deposit return scheme to incentivise people to recycle plastic and glass demonstrates the Government’s commitment to protecting the environment
Akaal will help to implement the following:
- A new deal for towns - New Towns Fund will help communities make sure their towns are safe to walk in and a pleasure to be in.
- Regenerating towns - The Towns Fund will go to an initial 100 towns to improve their local economy.
- Community ownership. establishing a £150 million Community Ownership Fund to encourage local takeovers of civic organisations or community assets that are under threat – local football clubs, but also pubs or post offices
- Community spirit- through the Cultural Investment Fund, outlined above, we will also support activities, traditions and events that bring communities together.
