How can we Tidy Up Tooting?

This is the action we believe the Council should be taking to improve the cleanliness of Tooting streets and the quality of life of Tooting residents:

• First and foremost, we need to have more frequent street cleaning
• Review and target cleaning on a regular basis to concentrate on the worst areas
• Abolish charges for the removal of bulky items and garden waste to reduce incidents of fly tipping
• Introduce town centre pavement washing and chewing gum removal to rid the streets of grime and dirt
• Begin a doorstep organic waste collection service to increase recycling levels
• Enforce zero tolerance of fly tipping by making full use of the powers under the Government’s Cleaner Neighbourhood Act, including fining and prosecuting fly-tippers.
• Use CCTV more effectively to catch fly tippers
• Co-ordinate street cleaners and traffic wardens for the most effective reporting of fly-tipping
• Pro-active installation of gates on alleyways to reduce incidences of fly-tipping and to tackle anti-social behaviour

It is important that incidences on fly-tipping and uncollected rubbish are reported. Here is the number you need:
