Thank you for your enquiry regarding public perceptions of rubbish and litter.

We publish data on anti-social behaviour indicators on a quarterly basis alongside our statistical bulletin 'Crime in England and Wales'. The statement you are referring to is based on data provided in Table F13 in our Crime in England and Wales: Other related tables file. This shows the percentage of people that think rubbish or litter lying around is a very/fairly big problem in their area. The most recent version of these tables, for the year ending March 2019, can be found at the link below:
