I am becoming increasingly fed up of the amount of rubbish along LL. This morning was particularly bad with 5 piles of rubbish that had been created from bags left out for collection, which does seem to be the main cause. I dont think most people drop litter and the commercial businesses seem to dispose responsibly (well secured bags provided by tge council). So mostly badly secured domestic rubbish from along the lane seem to be at fault. Also a lack of regular emptying of recycling bins which results in over flow onto pavement.


I have tried a number of tactics: regular pick up of rubbish aling my own street, reporting fly tipping and overflowing bins and lobbying coop to kerp their patch clean (often one of dirtiest areas on the street).


May be a community of clean street champions (residential and commercial) could make a difference but a muti-layered response from council and residents would be needed. A clear position on how residents should dispose of rubbish when they live above shops and clear efforts to educate would be a good start.

I was in St Ives and the rubbish bins there are just like ours (black, square, plastic with four slots) but at least twice the size. Would it be a good idea to at least double up on the bins themselves if not the size? The best we can do is not litter ourselves and then pick up others' (which is what I do but only cans and bottles).

I was driving down LL late Monday night/Tuesday morning around 1:30am-2am and it was really bad. But it was obvious that someone or some people have been tearing up the bags and scattering the contents everywhere for some reason.


Every public bin & every bag that was put out by local shop owners were ransacked and scattered all over the street. but i have to say, by mid-morning it had all been cleared up as it it hadn't of happened. Good job by the cleaners!

Oh don't, so dusgusting. On a more positive the note,the craze of plogging (picking up litter as you jog) is set to hit our shores. I don't do much jogging as I generally have a baby sling in tow so may be I will try plinging!!https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/237c63d4-0a54-406a-ae51-ad677a872456

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
