Hi there


Just wondering if anyone else is noticing and getting annoyed by the constant dumping of rubbish outside the Family Store on the corner of Upland and Hindmans Road?


This is an almost daily occurrence now. My guess is that the clothes and Southwark recycling bins are encouraging people to dump their crap here, although obviously that is no excuse. I have brought this up several times with the corner shop owners and they don't really seem that interested. There is a CCTV camera there, but it does not discourage anyone. I have also emailed [email protected] today to try and get something done longer term.


If anyone else has suggestions would be good to hear them. Is there a way of getting the bins removed?

A similar thing at the top of Ashbourne grove. Its infuriating. I'm filling in the council fly tipping form on a weekly basis. But there are no bins so I'm not sure getting rid of them will help on Hindmans. Once people see rubbish being dumped there it just becomes the place to ditch stuff.

Same used to happen on the corner of Colyton Road and Homestall Road. Recycling bins ended up being taken away, just like they were at the Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's. It seems that people cannot be trusted to use recycling facilities in a responsible way.

Swati, I've asked this question about neighbours' overflowing bins many, many times without the Council ever replying. Personally I think it should count as fly tipping.


I'm sick of the rubbish on my street as well as people using the pavement to store their bins and leaving rubbish next to their bins for foxes to pick through it and drag all over the road.


Get a grip, people.

Hi swati.clark,

Southwark aims to litter pick every street every two days. And sweep every street monthly.

If you feel this is not being adhered to please complain online here - https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/beta/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1541&np=1


Hi Monkey,

I'd follow the same link as above. Repeatedly. Failing that engage a local councillor to escalate.

NB. Sometimes rubbish is put in recycling or brown bin and then they do not get emptied. Is that the problem in this instance?


Hi Willard,

At some point the council will remove this recycling point as they've done from all large Southwark super market car parks for this very reason of dumping.

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
