Re: Keep Wandsworth Clean: Litter fines increased

'Tis a shame WBC cannot empty their litter bins on the WBC side from Clapham Common. Many's a time I have walked past overflowing bins on the common along Nightingale Lane to Clapham South Tube.

Re: primary schools in tooting

I have had two children at Fircroft and still have one. Your children will enjoy their time at Fircroft. I echo all the points raised earlier in the conversation. I add though that if you want your child to be in with a chance at Graveney or a grammar or an academic independent, you will have to hav...
