Cleaner Shad Thames project

In March 2019 STRA was again awarded funding from Southwark Council's Bermondsey and Rotherhithe Neighbourhoods Fund 2019/20 for the Cleaner Shad Thames project. This provides additional daily cleaning in specific locations, with focus on the area around Tower Bridge, and the areas below:

· Shad Thames junction of Lafone Street, Pizza Express

· Outside 59 Lafone Street by Virtus

· Maguire Street, the Clove Building

· Horselydown Lane, Anchor Tap public house

· Lafone Street junction Gainsford Street, Dean Swift public house

· Queen Elizabeth Street outside Circle food store

· Queen Elizabeth Street outside Olive food store

This additional clean has made a noticeable difference.
