The scheme is run in partnership with lots of different agencies including Community Payback, the Metropolitan Police, Safer Lambeth and Transport for London. All the agencies work together for an entire day to tackle specific problems and freshen up the area of a local ward.

Freshview aims to:

•           Improve environmental quality

•           Reduce anti-social behaviour

•           Increase community engagement and partnership working.

One of the Freshview activities on Lower Marsh will be to look at the problem of overflowing rubbish bins spilling onto the street and creating a mess. Council Enforcement Officers will be talking to businesses on the street about trade waste to check if they are having any problems with their rubbish collections and to make sure they have the appropriate arrangements in place.

Freshview will also be tackling Granby Place, next to the Camel and Artichoke, which has become a bit of a ‘grot spot’ and a focus for anti social behaviour such as drug use and dumping of rubbish bags. As part of the programme, Granby Place will be getting a good old clear up and scrub down.

If you have any questions about your obligations as a business when it comes to trade waste or need any other support, get in touch with Katie Lindsay at Waterloo Quarter on 020 7620 1309 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
