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

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
