Telegraph Hill, as all who love it know, is a lovely part of London, blessed with wide streets, abundant trees, its own park and elegant Victorian houses - all the more reason to be alarmed when its environment is under threat.

Perhaps the most persistent problem is that recently, the amount of rubbish dumped on the pavements - household refuse, discarded white goods, furniture and so on - (see right for some examples in Jerningham and Musgrove Roads) has been on the increase.

There are other problems, of course, and the links on the left are intended as a compendium of information about the Council's services. They do a pretty good job of getting it cleared, usually within a couple of days, and always pursue persistent offenders with a view to prosecution. A list of the Council's environmental services can be found here.
