FRESHVIEW
Operation Freshview moves on to Herne Hill
08 November 2006
HERNE Hill will become the next ward to benefit from major improvements when staff involved in ?Operation Freshview? get to work in the area on Tuesday November 14.A 200 strong team of staff from Lambeth Council, the police, the fire brigade, Cleanaway, TfL and other partners will be in the ward in a day of concerted action designed to improve the environment and address community safety issues.
?Operation Freshview? will see teams tackling graffiti and grime, removing street clutter, cutting back hedges and talking to residents face to face about local issues and how the area could be improved.
Staff from the council, police, fire brigade and other partners will be based by the entrance to Brockwell Park on Dulwich Road all day to meet local people, discuss local issues and provide information on local services. People visiting the ?roadshow? will be able to register for a free fire safety survey of their home by London Fire Brigade, as well as receiving a free smoke alarm.
Cllr Lib Peck, Lambeth Council?s Cabinet member for environment and culture, said:
?By working together with the police and other partners we are making a real, lasting difference to some of the more deprived areas of the borough. Operation Freshview has been a tremendous success in other parts of the borough and I am sure it will be just as successful in Herne Hill.
?I would really encourage people to come and visit the Freshview roadshow on the day at the Brockwell Park entrance on Dulwich Road. It is a great opportunity for people to talk face to face with council staff and police about local issues of concern, as well as getting useful information on a whole range of local services.?
The clean up in Herne Hill ward is the third phase of Operation Freshview, and follows the successful days of action in Coldharbour in September and Prince?s in October.
Successes in previous operations included issuing a number of on the spot £75 fines to litter louts, enforcement action taken against shops for not disposing of waste correctly, graffiti blitzed and hedges cut back, and arrests by police in relation to immigration, dangerous weapons and burglary, and a number of bags of pirated and illegal goods confiscated.
