Another lot of tipping has appeared at the electricity substation on the patch of pavement where the bus stop is, near the Herne Tavern.

I have let Cllr Hamvas know; she has dealt with tipping there before.

Rat traps (at least five, which may or may not have done their work) are there as part of the trash, as are boxes with labels belonging to a local business - though I do not draw the conclusion that the two are linked and would discourage anyone from doing so themselves.

I hope Cllr H can deal with this effectively; I will let the council know via the website as well.

Charging for busy waste collection has led to more fly tipping.

You can no longer make a quick call to report such issues - which is also delaying removal. It is much more hassle to be a good citizen since the current administration made these changes. You could download an app like FixMystreet to help report these types of issues. I've not found the southwark website good for this.

James I would be genuinely interested to know how much the council has saved (or I suspect lost) by the introduction of a charge to remove bulky waste...


Certainly the amount of fly tipping has increased dramatically and affects everyone particularly those in "hot spots"


I wish the council was more imaginative and proactive in tackling the problem

James, could you also look into what's happening outside the new shop next door to the Co-op on FHR? Looks like they needed access to pipes, but the builders have dug up half the street and just left it. No work has been carried out for weeks, and now people are throwing rubbish (inc shoes?), into the ditch.

I reported the fly-tipping raised with me by Nigello and I have had confirmation that enforcement in conjunction with cleansing have been in attendance and the fly-tipped material has been removed. The amount of fly-tipping has not gone up, but spots used for by tippers vary! Commercial waste was never covered by the bulky waste service. I have reported about the pavement damage and skip.

Hi Renata / All


Please see attached images of the area mentioned next to the co-op. It has been like this for over a month, there is standing water, rubbish (including shoes!!!) and the drop is enough to cause serious injury, especially as the plastic fencing is not maintained.


I am happy to make a formal request with planning as no-one can appreciate the state of the area. But is that the right thing to do?


Kind regards

I sent a similar pic to Cllr Hamvas, so I hope something can be done.

If Cllr Hamvas requires us to do the reporting ourselves, I would be happy to do so, but would prefer to go to a specific place rather than go via the website because I am not sure whether it is tipping or roads or building site, etc.

Hi Renata,


just to let you know that the area had some work done for half a day recently but its not improved things at all. The water is now almost at ground level and poses even more of a health and safety risk for children and animals. Please chase someone on this.


thanks

Some empirical evidence in support of this claim would be helpful.


Worth noting in this context (i.e. a LibDem Cllr trying to point score against a Labour controlled borough) that the only LibDem controlled London borough charges ?30 for up to 4 items and ?50 for 5-8 items. Southwark charges ?16 for up to 10 items.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
