I've noticed loads of 'Love Lewisham' vest wearing sweepers out almost every morning around areas with large trees. No wonder so many trees get chopped back so severely by the council, it must cost them (us) a fortune.

Wish they'd be a bit more enthusiastic about tackling the dog turds - another seasonal problem it seems when the owners can't be bothered to go to the park in the rain. Even worse is when the leaves are disguising a brown mound underneath.... This weekend the route from HOP to FH along Grierson, Garthorne, Beadnell and Stansted Rd was like doing a turd slalom.
