People do this in our road and sometimes it's unpleasant to have to walk past overloaded smelly bins. A couple of years ago everyone in the road received a standard letter from Southwark reminding people to put their bins away as it was unsightly, gave pedestrians less room for manoeuvre etc but not sure how this is formally policed. Unwanted household items & furniture are also left outside houses. A lot of us do care how the street looks and just don't understand how these residents don't seem to worry about the area immediately outside their own homes.

Depends on what you mean by permanently leaving the bins outside? On collection day I try to leave the bins just inside/outside the gate for collection.


Had a letter from Southwark a while ago saying not to leave bins on the pavement, which I didn't do anyway but maybe this was the case.


Not sure what part of the borough you live in but our bin men are good at staying on top of the situation!

Why not just speak to your neighbours? It's a reasonable request, especially when you think about people with buggies/dogs/children and those with disabilities.

The same goes for those selfish folk who let their privets and trees grow into the road. A savvy person with a few days to spare and a pair of shears could clean up this summer.

Yea I get you on that one. I wouldn't call my neighbor selfish, but she's let her front hedge go a bit since she had the extension done and since moved back in: people can only pass single file on the pavement now. Needless to say when trimming mine yesterday I did hers, took me 5 mins with the trimmer. Took it back 45cm without denuding it too much, and will take it back more next month.

Don't think the op was talking about bin collection days, more about people who just permanently keep their bins outside on the pavement. In our road the residents have been asked but refuse to do anything about it so nothing to do with holidays, disabilities, age etc. As I mentioned earlier, if they don't respond to neighbours or Southwark letters we are not sure how these issues are formally policed or whether there is anything anyone can do about it.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
