TIDY Northern Ireland

TIDY Northern Ireland is a non-profit environmental organisation that runs the "Keep Northern Ireland Tidy Campaign", and manages a number of local environmental quality programmes such as Blue Flag, Borough Cleanliness Survey, TIDY Communities, TIDY Business and Eco-Schools.

Overview

TIDY Northern Ireland produces information on the cleanliness of Northern Ireland that is used to direct resources to prominent environmental quality issues. TIDY Northern Ireland has conducted campaigns and public information on litter including car litter, gum deposition, drug related litter, fast food litter, and youth litter. They have also campaigned on a number of other anti-social behaviour issues such as fly-tipping, dog fouling and neighbourhood noise. TIDY Northern Ireland endorses the government’s wider aim to deliver sustainable development. This work falls into three main areas: campaigning to get public action, the delivery of programmes to enable partners to deliver action in the community and the production of research and survey results to measure the quality of the local environment.

There are various key factors to the continuing development of TIDY Northern Ireland’s activities. The growing momentum of the sustainable development agenda, and its links to local environmental quality and the anti-social behaviour agenda, demonstrating the connection, impact and benefits of high quality local environments.

One of TIDY Northern Ireland’s primary aims is to enable the public and private sector agencies to deliver more effectively on Local Environmental Quality (LEQ), and relate it to the needs of their community. Much of their work is pertinent to The Litter (NI) Order 1994 and The Waste and Contaminated Land (NI) Order 1997.

They aim to achieve their objectives by:

• enabling others to improve, maintain and own their local environment
• encouraging the disposal of material, which could become litter
• deterring gum deposition
• deterring graffiti, fly posting, vandalism, dog fouling, anti-social behaviour and other activities that have a negative impact of the quality of our local environment

As part of this work, they help local authorities and other agencies to deliver better local environmental services, which are tailored to meet the differing needs of the communities that they serve.
