Operation Freshview
Lambeth Council is joining forces with several organisations (including Veolia, London Fire Brigade, Metropolitan Police and Transport for London) to launch a new initiative called Operation Freshview.
The operation involves Lambeth Council and its partners taking a fresh view in tackling a range of problems by combining and focusing their resources in selected areas for one day a month.
Community Freshview
Building on the success of its monthly clean-up campaign, Freshview is branching out to include our new scheme Community Freshview.
The scheme is about taking pride in your local area and is aimed at residents that want to play an active role in improving their neighbourhood.
The aim of Freshview is to:
- Increase communicty engagement and partnership working
- Increase environmental quality
- Reduce antisocial behaviour
The operations can cover a wide range of activities for example:
- Information stalls
- Targeted area clean ups
- Free bulky waste removals for residents in selected streets
- Home safety checks and smoke detector fitting
- Inspections of businesses
- Building control inspections
- Arrests by police
- Removal of Nuisance Vehicles
- Street lighting fixed and obstructions cleared
- Engaging with people who beg, sleep rough or are involved in sex work and directing them to the most appropriate welfare services
