Help us create a Cleaner Lewisham WORKING TOGETHER FOR A

Despite the hard work of our incredible street sweepers and cleansing teams, cuts from central government have made it harder to keep our streets clean. That’s why we’re bringing together residents, businesses and community groups for a series of community litter picks over the coming months, as part of our Cleaner Lewisham campaign. Last year, over 200 residents from across Lewisham got involved with our community litter picks, collecting more than 190 bags of rubbish in the process.

We’re also cracking down on littering and fly-tipping, using CCTV to catch offenders and handing out more fines. We’ve handed out over 1,600 fines for littering and fly-tipping since August 2021, as well as prosecuting professional fly-tippers in the borough. To find out where your nearest litter pick is taking place, visit lewisham.gov.uk/ CommunityLitterPicks.
