Same problem here.


And where are we supposed to put rotting food at the moment when we don't have a brown bin (or brown caddy)

Im guessing you are talking about the leaves, after 20 yrs of sweeping them up and the ?1000s spent due to subsidence from the trees. Im not going to pay for a bin as well. I don't believe I am obligated to get rid of the leaves.


Personally my garden is not huge and will be happy to have one less bin and will just pay for bags when i need them.

My Veolia mole again - problems with some collections may be down to the removal of a (blue/ green bin) lorry from the circuit, and then its replacement (when there was found to be too much work) by an entirely new crew - just given a map of where to collect from. So they have no 'crew' knowledge of their routes and therefore aren't replacing bins correctly because (if they're using runners ahead of the lorry), they don't know where exactly they've been pulled out from. I found 3 blue bins in my drive on Tuesday, only one of which was mine! I think I re-homed them correctly. Normally crews are replaced piecemeal (except where an emergency crew is on) so route knowledge is passed on within a team. Hey ho!

What happens when people are away on holiday and bins are just plonked anywhere and can stay there forever.


I have had bins parked on my front steps that do not belong to me.


Nobody in my area would even think of putting bins back where they came from even when they have numbers painted on.


Most places in my area are three flat victorian conversions with young renters who do not give a damm.


Most workable and tried and tested systems evolve over time unlike now by a untested PC idea.

The same green truck, staffed by Veolia contractors is now reversing, yes reversing, the wrong way down the bus lane on Lordship Lane opposite the Lordship Estate towards Dulwich Library, picking up bins as they go. The single most stupid piece of driving I?ve seen for a while. And yes people have tried to tell them it?s dangerous but are just being waved round.

It?s ?25 not ?35


?25 for the part year (the scheme didn't start until well after April) - it was meant to be pro-rata for ?30 for a full year. Whether they stick to ?30 when they set the fee for next year is a moot point, of course! Don't hold your breathe on this would be my advise. If so few people are taking the scheme up, they'll probably want to up the fee to get their expected returns for next year, as their revenues will be nowhere near their costs of implementation this year, I'm guessing.

      I am faintly amused by the cries of horror when the overtly political actions of Southwark Council Labour (their car hatred does after all form part of their manifesto) is countered by what might possibly be political action of others (although there is some evidence to support it being a groundswell of purely local and not party-affiliated activity). Who is behind Southwark Labour party one might ask - is it Militant Trotskyites? From where are they being funded? The Kremlin, Beijing?

      Ha ha, some people really don't like an opinion that differs to theirs do they! Bravo One Dulwich - you're magnificently rattling the cages of people who don't want to hear a differing opinion and the fact they get so irate about it is the icing on the cake! Some spend so much emotional energy trying to convince themselves One Dulwich is some shadowy, agitator state-funded lobby group when all they are is a group of local residents giving a voice to the majority of residents impacted by the measures.

      @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.

      Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie
