We would really like your feedback on where to focus our efforts this time round. Please see enclosed map for the area to be covered.
If you have time to return the email to freshview@lambeth.gov.uk and answer the following questions, we would be very grateful. Please also come and see us on Thursday 13 September in Brockwell Park (near the main entrance), between 8am and 4pm. We will be giving out 'stubbie' pouches for collecting cigarette butts, personal alarms and information about our different services. We will also be collecting any bulky items of rubbish left out for collection in front of dwellings in specific streets as well as carrying out several other cleaning, tidying and improvement activities.
Are there any particular areas where rubbish or abandoned cars have built up that you think need removing? (Please state whether this is on an estate or a public area)
Are there any premises where you think that Trading Standards or Environmental Health Officers should investigate (Trading Standards enforce a wide range of laws, including product safety, weights and measures, food labelling, credit, product counterfeiting and fair trading.)
Are there any areas of parking related problems that Parking Attendants should look into?
Are there any areas where there is graffiti or fly posting that needs removing?
Are there any areas where you have noticed anti-social behaviour which needs tackling?
Finally, do you or anyone you know want a free home fire safety visit from the London Fire Brigade? This could involve them fitting a free smoke alarm if needed. Please call the Fire Service on 08000 28 24 28 to arrange a visit or respond to this email
