Freshview
Freshview is a major council initiative to make your local area and the borough cleaner, safer and greener by im
proving the quality of the environment.
Originally a twelve month pilot scheme, Freshview began in 2006 covering selected wards in the borough. The success of the scheme led to it becoming permanent and it has now expanded to cover the entire borough.
Go to the Community Freshview page to find out how you can get involved.
How does it work?
The scheme is run by the council in partnership with lots of different agencies including Community Payback, the Metropolitan Police, Safer Lambeth and Transport for London. Every month the council and 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.
Activities that can happen during Freshview include:
- Free bulky waste collections for residents in selected streets
- Issuing fines for littering and waste
- Removing flyposting and graffiti
- Community service by Youth Offending and Community Payback teams
- Confiscating illegal goods and firearms
- Removal of nuisance vehicles
- Inspections of commercial premises
- Improving street lighting
- Cutting back trees and hedges
- Deep cleansing of problem hotspots
- Information stall providing feedback for residents, and much more.

Information stall
The Freshview information stall is set up in your ward a week after the clean-up takes place. This gives you a chance to look around your area to see the improvements and to give us your feedback on what you have noticed.
You can also tell us what other improvements you would like to see, get advice on issues such as recycling, home safety and to find out more information on Freshview and Community Freshview.
