Leaves on East Dulwich streets

[Katherty]

I am wondering what is normal in terms of the council clearing leaves on East Dulwich streets.

I took these photos of the pavement on Whateley Road on 17 December.  It had been like this for a couple of months. When it was wet or icy, the leaves were a slipping hazard.  They also got mushy and were sludgy and unpleasant to walk on.

I have seen another street near here with a similar amount of leaves, and there may be others.

I saw someone (I assume from the council) clearing away some of the leaves last week. However, there is a leafy brown sludge left on the pavement which is not too nice!

Wondering what's normal. If this isn't, does anyone know how to contact the council about it?

Contact Southwark. I know Lambeth employ people to clean the leaves and keep the streets clean and are still doing so.

Well let’s hope the “magic fairy” will clear them! 
Let’s hope that with more rain predicted, no one falls and breaks a leg/ arm and goes to A and E, having used the services of an ambulance.. 

Many on this forum would agree, used to be community spirit and yes I agree the council should be more switched on or what ever.. but they are not.. 

And not many people care or have the time to hang and wait on automated system anyway..

Go speak to your local rep or email them..
