Labour Councillors for Telegraph Hill Ward

Following pressure from Telegraph Hill councillors, the Council has agreed to arrange for the domestic bins to be placed in the front garden areas (up the stairs) of flats following collection to make the street more tidy. Crews will collect the bins from this area on subsequent weeks so that bins are no longer stored on the pavement. Residents from other blocks along the road should contact us if they need additional bins either via calling our Envirocall number or by emailing one of their Councillors.

There is a litter bin by each bus stop and these are emptied frequently throughout the day between 6.30am - 6.30pm. This is done every day of the week on this road and Councillors have asked for this to be continued and monitored.

Unfortunately the Council Environmental Enforcement team do not have access to the CCTV cameras in the road which are owned by Transport for London - your Councillors have asked TfL if there is any possibility for them to work more closely with the Environment team. However, cameras are not the most productive way to help tackle litter dropped by individuals on foot and are mainly useful to trace a registration number when a vehicle dumps litter. The team can issue a fixed penalty notice (FPN) if a member of the public is witnessed dropping litter by an officer and Councillors have asked them to step up activity in New Cross Road. If residents want to request more clear recycling sacks at any time, they can contact the Council Envirocall number on 020 8314 7171 to order.
