Definitely noticed an increase too but Southwark already had second highest number of reported fly tipping of garden waste in whole UK!

Council really ought to have had a credible plan to tackle this before introducing a charge that would make the problem even worse.

to the person who said I was fly tipping and i was most certainly not , who was obviously twitching from behind your curtains watching me carry heavy wardrobe doors down to the front ready for the council to pick up , "which I'd paid for" You could have been proactive in helping me carry the heavy wood instead of being a f*****g "grass".

This is predictable and a deliberate Ploy on behalf of Southwark Council.


They will now set up Teams of Fly Tipping Officers who will be out and about to catch garden waste Fly Tippers

and Hand out Hefty Fines to make Southwark Council a Fortune.


Close down Public Toilets and Fine people when they Pee in the street.


Get rid of Street Waste bins and Fine people when they throw litter on the Pavement.


Paint Yellow Lines everywhere and Fine people when they park and pop into a shop for 2 mins.

OTT response as per. Southwark like other Councils clearly don't make a fortune and are forced to look at other income streams. Maybe some of those fines should be introduced - urinating in the street maybe more than a fine

Judging by the amount of air space boxed off by all the ugly extensions around here- they already are!

I doubt that there is not one Policeman that has never been in the same situation

with the need to go for a Pee where anyone else would be arrested.

The binmen don't bother with the street. One of them went in my drive. You'd have thought he might at least have re-cycled one of those plastic milk cartons.

Hate to break it to you but we are not living in Medieval times - we have facilities and everything now. We also have always had spreadable diseases and extreme bad behaviour but neither are compulsory. Why policemen? No answer required.

I hope this is not another spin-off from the scheme...burning the garden waste...


Last evening, as soon as it was dark, someone in the area near Heber school started a bonfire which burned for hours....it smelled like wood that was burning. The whole house was full of smoke- as was everyone's, I daresay, as who did not have windows open?.I was just glad that my asthmatic daughter was not staying as it would have been horrible for her. Barbecues are bad enough in this area but bonfires as well.

    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened.
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly. 
    • https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!
