Love Clean Streets

Local talk

I recommend installing the Lewisham Council app called Love Clean Streets.

This allows you to report graffiti, flytipping, highway/footpath defects, blocked public drains etc.

By reporting these issues it is often possible for them to be fixed quicker than would otherwise happen. With enough people reporting issues they see, we can all help improve the local area.

This is the link to install on an android phone:

Perhaps somebody can post the iphone version?

This is a really good tip - in my experience, electronics dumped on the streets, general rubbish, Christmas trees and the like gets dealt with within a couple of days. You simply take a picture of the detritus, and your phone reports it with a GPS location so the waste crew knows where to go.

I was asked by Lewisham to stop using FixMyStreet and report directly to Lewisham. Does Lewisham accept reports from Love Clean Streets? Does Love Clean Streets get to Hoover up loads of our data?

Ah yes good point - I was using FixMyStreet too, and Lewisham Council asked me to switch to their dedicated app Love Lewisham - I thought that was what the OP was referring to when they mentioned Love Clean Streets, but on my phone it seems to be a different app.

I went to find the Love Lewisham app in the iPhone app store though, and while I have it on my phone, it just brings up Love Clean Streets when I search for Love Lewisham, so perhaps they are one and the same. This is the link to Love Clean Streets on an iPhone:

The reason for this request from the council, I presume, is that the council has to pay a fee every time a report is made via FixMyStreet, whereas their own app is completely free (but Iā€™m just surmising that, and have no evidence, other than how very keen they were for me to switch!)

Edit to add: I installed Love Clean Streets and it reports to councils all over the country, and works out which council to report to when you try to submit a report, based on location. I guess the developer started with borough-specific apps and then rolled them all into one.
