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...

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
