The document discusses a proposal for street ambassadors to address local environmental problems like litter, flytipping, and graffiti. It notes that such issues negatively impact neighborhood wellbeing and are more common in poorer areas. The document presents case studies of successful projects in Redruth and Springhill that achieved positive impacts through community involvement and outlines how street ambassadors could similarly improve neighborhoods.
