Ask a question at a council meeting
Anyone who lives, works or studies in Lewisham can make an enquiry or raise an issue at a full Council meeting by asking a public question. If there is an issue you want the Council to look at, or an area where you believe we can make improvements, a public question is a good way to bring it to the Council’s attention.
Your question may lead to an investigation or review of the issue you raise and could be relevant to other residents affected by the same issue.

Reporting fly-tipping
You can report any fly-tipping or street cleaning issues through the Love Clean Streets website or app, available to download from Apple or Google Play.
Once you’ve downloaded the app, take a quick photo at the scene on your phone and send it via the app. The waste is normally cleared within 48 hours.
