Operation Freshview

Operation Freshview, Lambeth Council's drive to clean up some of the borough's most deprived areas, is being extended.
Freshview brings together a range of services in a day of concerted action to 'blitz' wards to make a real difference to the quality of the environment and lasting improvements to the area.
Staff blitz graffiti and fly-tipping, cut back overgrown hedges, paint and smarten up tired street furniture such as sign posts and fences, take action against abandoned vehicles and rogue traders and seek to find solutions to long term local problems.  Following the success of the operations last year, the scheme is being continued.
Freshview came to Tulse Hill for the first time on Friday 25th January when council staff were joined by colleagues from the police, fire brigade, and voluntary organisations in a day of concerted action.
In addition to Tulse Hill, the other Freshview wards are Prince's, Coldharbour, Oval, Ferndale and Vassall.
Freshview was initially a one year pilot scheme, which began in September 2006, but has been extended with the agreement of partners after making major improvements during its pilot phase.
