• More cuts ?

  By sr344 at 09:26 on 03/10/11

  

  I live in the New Eltham / Avery hill area and I am wondering if the council has now cut the street cleaners. The build up of street rubbish has become a disgrace along with health implications. The littering his particularly bad around New Eltham , Avery hill Rd and Southwood Rd.
