It takes just a minute or two to report things to the environmental team who either deal with it themselves or pass it on to the relevant body if it's not within their remit. Lewisham's team usually remove flytips within a couple of days, I guess responses elsewhere will depend on the council. If you don't have a smart phone you can report things online. http://www.lovecleanstreets.com/reports/homeDeptford Damenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-47381077258276948372015-10-14T08:42:40.533+00:002015-10-14T08:42:40.533+00:00Haha sorry I couldn't resist.
I agree with y...Haha sorry I couldn't resist. <br /><br />I agree with your observation though. I walk to Deptford station every day from the Greenwich side and the difference is noticeable. <br /><br />I think 'unloved' is an excellent way of describing it. If and old sofa is left on the street on the Lewisham side it's often left there for quite some time before it's removed. <br /><br />From experience, Greenwich council have been very prompt dealing with any issues I've reported in the past.

It is very noticeable where the Greenwich/Lewisham boundaries lie in terms of the amount of crap that is left on footpaths, broken street furniture etc. Crossing the boundary is like walking into a different town! Sadly we are totally forgotten. Hopefully one of the benefits of, dare I say, gentrification around the station is that these people may well have a bit more clout in demanding that the local environs are maintained to an acceptable standard.<br /><br />As for the roadworks, I've personally been comforted by the lack of chaos that everyone was predicting. It all seems to run fine, and if anything looks quieter when I walk by!I'm not a robotnoreply@blogger.com
