Fallen leaves from the trees covering the grass verge making it difficukt to reach the foitway.

Reported via mobile in the Street Services category anonymously at 09:08, Thursday 30 October 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council 3 days, 23 hours, 2 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 8355172.

Grass verge is covered in wet slippery leaves . Leaves from the footway have been cleared, but blown vack onto the grass verge. There us no pavement on my side of the road, and as an elderly overdone I am finding it difficult to cross the road to the footway. The verge was re seeded last year as the grass does mot grow back when the leaves are not cleared away. Please would you include this in your leafing programme this year.

  • This road has been inspected by Bromley and its condition noted and passed to our street cleansing contractor. Leaf fall is a borough wide issue and whilst we cannot respond to each ad-hoc request as they get reported, we have instructed our contractor to arrange for this road to be caught up as soon as is practical. Leafing attendance focusses on clearing the footways initially and verges and carriageways may be cleared on subsequent attendance or as part of routine schedules.

    From October to January, our autumn leaf clearance programme provides additional crews and equipment to clear leaves from streets that are known to have the highest proportion of leaves and therefore a priority.

    Whilst our routine cleansing frequencies can be disrupted by the leafing season, please be assured that our contractors are working hard to ensure that any backlogs are recovered at the earliest possible opportunity.

    To assist us at this time we would ask residents not to sweep leaves from their property into the road and remember that leaves can be disposed of by home composting, through the Council’s Green Garden Waste scheme or taken to our refuse and recycling centres.
