Hello James, I walked past the Papa John's trailer again today; they've manoeuvred it into an even more prominent position, (if that's possible) any news from the council? and can we add complaints, and to whom? dds

Catgirl, you said it all! i came back from holiday to find my narrow street, no front gardens, crammed with huge BLUE bins- most of the people in my street have now spent time phoning and emailing to swap or remove them, and downsize the huge green bins which are now mainly redundant.We are also still awash with blue boxes... Who organised the wholesale distribution of these bins? What a disaster! dds

No thanks! No more chains, keep the independents going.I agree about an extra greengrocer. And a bit of support for the Co-op; the goods are predominantly Fair Trade and comparatively priced with Sainsbury's. It's fine for top up shopping, and ethically right on! dds

Can I urge everyone who feels these bins are indefensible in every way(most people have stated all the obvious objections)please phone or email the council to remove the bins that you don't need and swap them for boxes, or share with neighbours. We're doing that, and using the 3 large recycling bins parked outside the flats at the end of our road. James Barber is right. It does matter. I have a photo but it's too big to post Sorry! dds29

Am I the only person who thinks that Veolia/Southwark Council are blighting the borough with bins?! I returned from holiday halfway through September to find yet another set of large bins crammed into our small terraced street; (we have very little space at the front of the houses.) There are now blue, green and brown bins marching up the road, with some on the pavement. And it's not just in my street. Do we really need all these large bins? can someone in charge of this have a bit of vision and come up with a more environmentally friendly system? dds29

No to supermarkets: how about a Picturehouse type cinema?
