The other thing is for you to pick it up and take it away and dispose of it correctly. Yes, it?s not your job, but writing on here will make only very little difference at most. And yes, I pick up others? litter and have done for years. I just did so on Dawson?s Hill and Donkey Alley. Have a go - you may like it!
MrWB, there is already a thread on this on the gossip section.... I and Nigello have already contacted our councillors so you could do the same. The more people who voice it, the more likely they are to see it as a problem that needs addressing... I have also contacted Plastic Free East Dulwich to see if there is merit in reviving a more virtual or socially distanced version of their litter collection events, although you'd need an army to touch the sides if they don't sort out the lack of bin capacity...

In addition to being very ugly I doubt bins by the gates would be used by the feckless. Much of the rubbish was simply left where people had been in the middle of the lawns and open spaces so they hadn't even bothered to find a bin, let alone carry rubbish back to the entrance. It's happening all over the UK not just here in SE London unfortunately.

James, thanks for this update. Picking up on Ginster's sign, can the council look at doinga campaign that actually gets the message across. I have seen Southwark council tweet that they are asking residents to do their bit to keep parks clean but I have seen nothing from the council that will achieve this. Surely if this was done properly it would save resources as there would be less clearing up to do.

How absolutely disgusting that they have to tweet to ask 'residents' to keep 'our' parks clean- how do they know it's 'residents'? Do people really destroy their own open spaces- judging from the number of cars parked in Eynella, Eastlands Crescent etc I doubt if it's 'residents'.

If you are capable of dropping rubbish anywhere apart fron a bin, I don't know why your moral compass would suddenly kick in because you are in the area where you reside. Dropping rubbish does not become less wrong because you are not near your home. So yes, I think it's highly feasible that some residents are to blame.

Yes- ever since we were told we could travel, some people have been going far afield and everywhere smells like a toilet...

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
