Down in the dumps?
Are you concerned about fly tipping, dog fouling and abandoned vehicles in Downham? It's one of the Whitefoot Local Assembly priorities and regularly comes up as a topic at assembly meetings. Heidi Alexander, MP for Lewisham East, is hosting a Don't Dump in Downham - Cleaner Streets Summit from 11am on Saturday 26 July at the Green Man, 355 Bromley Road SE6. All are welcome.
Are you a local person or organisation that could be involved in helping set up new community gardens in Whitefoot?
Supported by funding from Phoenix Community Housing, the Whitefoot and Downham Community Food + Project will be developing a site at Oldstead Road for local people to grow their own fruit and veg. Please get in touch with them, their launch is on 1 August 2014 from 10am - 1pm.
