TACKLING THE TOSSERS WITH AI
LitterCam AI software linked to CCTV cameras is detecting litter being thrown out of vehicles in Scotland. With more and more CCTV cameras being installed across Bromley borough, LitterCam AI could help tackle the littering epidemic in Green Street Green which shows no sign of abating.

ANNUAL CUT OF NATURALISED GRASS AREAS
Following the long, hot dry summer, idverde has brought forward the annual 'cut and collect' of Naturalised Grass Areas in Bromley borough as the end of the growing season and setting seed has occurred earlier this year.

Last year idverde missed cutting/collecting the Naturalised Grass Area on eastern side of Sevenoaks Road as it crosses The Green, and in the previous year it was cut but not collected.

So, it is encouraging to see the work being done this year, and hopefully we can look forward to an abundance of wild flowers next year.

A NORMAL DAY IN SHIRE LANE, GREEN STREET GREEN

Casual littering and fly-tipping has become so normalised in Green Street Green that our Chelsfield Ward Councillors do not consider it a problem because, apparently, it is far worse elsewhere.

The task of cleaning and greening Green Street Green is falling increasingly on local residents as Bromley Council teeters on the edge of a financial precipice.

After freezing council tax in the run up to local elections in 2022, our Bromley Council has been given the green light to increase council tax above the standard 4.99% limit next year - https://www.bromley.gov.uk/downloads/file/3967/financial-crunch-our-bromley-magazine-august-2026-page-26-27

On today's 'litter walk' in Shire Lane we collected and reported:
🚯 83 glass/plastic bottles and cans (recycled separately)
🚯 6 Nitrous Oxide canisters fly-tipped
🚯 2 Purple sacks filled with litter and detritus
https://fix.bromley.gov.uk/report/10021928

Reported 20 sacks of construction that had been fly-tipped near the Salt Depot - https://fix.bromley.gov.uk/report/10021870

And reported a tree that had fallen across the footpath leading to Farnborough Way - https://fix.bromley.gov.uk/report/10021894.

We continue to ask Bromley Council/Councillors to reinstate the gate in Shire Lane (which straddles Chelsfield and Farnborough & Crofton Wards), to deter the anti-social activities that blight our neighbourhood.
