Eltham Town & Avery Hill Ward Team

Over the last six months, I've had a number of residents contact me about the smell in the car park at Eltham Station.

Below is the latest update on Southeastern about the issue - hopefully a light at the end of the tunnel towards the end of May.

Between now and May, we'll be pushing Southeastern to make sure this timeline doesn't slip.

If you are worried about bike theft and own a bike, it is definitely worth attending.

We were out this morning speaking to residents across the ward in the sunshine.

Lots of appreciation for our work locally to make Eltham Town & Avery Hill an even better place to live!

The three of us were out litter picking in New Eltham this afternoon.

This was the first meeting of the new group New Eltham Litter Picker-Mix who will be meeting regularly to help tidy up our neighbourhood!

Huge thank you to the almost 900 people who have already signed our petition to Save Our 286.

The 286 is a vital route for Eltham residents and commuters. It also links our area to Greenwich town centre and Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup.

We will be opposing any attempts to cut this service.

TfL planning another bus frequency cut on key Greenwich to Eltham route - The Greenwich Wire Another key bus service serving Greenwich is set to be reduced in frequency later this year - despite councillors’ efforts to persuade residents to switch away from driving.

🛣️✅ Pothole Success

We’re pleased to see that following our raising of the state of the road at the junction of Colepits and Crown Woods Way, the council have now finally taken action and filled in the many potholes.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this to make sure the repair does not disintegrate as we have seen with other repairs recently!
