Hi Sam

Thanks for posting this.

[Fuschia]

What's a visual audit?

[earlsam]

thank you

I have attached a map for your consideration

[earlsam]

Southwark Council Area Management Officers do walkabouts to flag up issues. These issues are then reported to the relevant departmets for attention. Normally, we do this with StreetLeaders ( volunteers )but everyone is welcome.

What time does it start and how long does it usually take?

[Mrs Y]

Thank you.

[earlsam]

[Marmora Man]

Overhanging trees on Marmora Road (No. 4 I think - almost derelict house) and on Forest Hill Road opposite Old Camberwell Cemetery

[earlsam]

OK- will look out for it

plz plz plz try to do something about the parking outside francesca gabrini primary school, a tragedy waiting to happen.Parents literally parking all four wheels of their cars on the pavement, i have been on to southwark and lewisham making them aware of this problem but to no avail. Will it take a child to be killed for anybody to address this situation.

[earlsam]

I will look out for signs and report to the relevant officers

[trinity]

When does it start and how long does it usually take?

[earlsam]

It starts at 10am (arrive early) and ends at about 11:30am. I have attached a street plan for your consideration.

No trees at all on Ryedale. Between Cornflower Terrace and Underhill Road. We need some (not sure if this is your bag).

I second this. It's not been so bad lately but there was a time when it was a permanent feature of this stretch of road, including at the bus shelter opposite FHT so you have to skip just in time to avoid it as you get off the bus. Ironically, there is a dog sign painted on the ground on the corner of Marmora Rd.

[earlsam]

I will be looking out for dog mess tomorrow and based on my findings will be working with the relevant agencies / teams to address the issues.

[PeckhamRose]

Yay Sam! You're in business! Hope the walk proves useful taking into account other people's comments here, and I am sorry I can not come with you. I hope other folks from here though who can attend, will come along and meet you and identify problems along the way for you or your colleagues to sort out.

[earlsam]

Thank you for getting in touch and please do contact me with any issues you may have and I will be more than willing to help.

Agree that because of the few who don't bag it is a problem, but you imply that there are many that don't- what is your evidence? Remember dogs go at least twice a day, it would only take one or two offenders to create a significant amount of dog poo in the area. As I keep saying, those who show selfish beahviour in this area are as likely to show it in others, I have a big problem about broken glass, gum and chicken bones that seem to be everywhere too.

[first mate]

earlsam,

please could your inspection address the problem of litter in general, including but not limited to: gum, broken glass, chicken bones and other food waste, and dog poo.

[TJ]

Can we have the pavement outside the shops tidied up as with Dunstans Rd?
