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.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
