Students from Beckmead College joined residents at Brookhurst Court for a community gardening day with Greener Solutions.

The day gave students the chance to learn new skills, build confidence and spend time with residents while helping care for the outdoor spaces.

Fly-tipping is not okay.

These people seem to think it’s okay to dump a mattress on the pavement.

👀 If you know who they are, tell us so we can send them a fine to pay for the clean up costs.

Report them to [email protected]

Our zero-tolerance to dumped rubbish has cost a resident £250.

Our enforcement team found the black bags in Norbury & tracked down the person 🕵

If something doesn't fit in your bin, it's up to you to get rid of it responsibly.
