Rats amid filth surrounding Sainsburys car park


Recommended Posts

I'm afraid the problem of rats in the grounds surrounding Sainsburys is nothing new though I thought the problem was more under control now. I spoke to the manager about this over 10 years ago and was told I should get in touch with Southwark Council as the rats were coming in from outside their boundary and it was up to Southwark Council to get rid of the rats so they couldn't enter Sainsbury's property. Hmmmmm.


It is worrying they have reappeared and close to the nursery at that. I think contacting the Council is your best bet, not for the reasons given to me by the store manager, but I would have thought they would be able to put pressure on the store to clean up the mess as it must be a H&S issue. Can the nursery add more weight?

rats are common in a city.


The issue is the rubbish. It's either Southwark's responsibility or Sainsbury's responsibility. If it's the latter, Southwark might be interested to know it's not happening.


I would suggest call environmental services and make a complaint.

Rats are also regularly seen in the small park opposite Sainsbury's. They will be attracted to areas with food waste, and many people fill up the bins with chicken bones and other crap and then the council fail to empty the bins. Of course it's going to attract wildlife.

Apparently there's this man with a pipe.


But don't forget to pay him.

Correct me if I'm wrong Uncle (but I'm not) - wasn't it you who was recently bewailing in these very pages how selfish cat owners are to have pets which do such damage to wildlife? Yet there is a scientific consensus that if all cat predation on rats suddenly ceased the rat population would increase fourfold within a year and continue to increase exponentially thereafter, with disastrous consequences not only for human living conditions but also for the avian population, as cats generally prey on weak/ill birds which would not have survived anyway while rats prey on eggs. Just a little food for thought.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
