From 2006 to 2010, I was a councillor for Lee Green ward in the London Borough of Lewisham. During that time, I blogged regularly and in 2009 I won the Tim Garden Award for the Best Blog by a Liberal Democrat Holding Public Office. My blog posts from my term of office are archived here in case they prove of use to former constituents, or to those who share my annoyance with faulty street furniture
Spring appears to be creeping round the corner slowly, and people are getting back into their gardens following our freezing winter. The garden waste drop-off point at the junction between Riddons Road and Mayeswood Road in Grove Park is re-opening this Saturday.
Between 9am and noon every Saturday between this Saturday (20th March) until 28th November, you can take along garden waste in plastic or reusable bags. Flowers and plants, grass clippings, hedge trimmings, leaves, and twigs and branches up to four inches in diameter will all be accepted.
Alternative drop off points are available at Girton Road Car Park, Sydenham; Kitto Road, outside Orange Café, Telegraph Hill and Laurence House Car Park, Catford.
The service is free, but residents should bring along proof of address and ID, otherwise they may be refused access to the service.
