Hi Everyone


I have become aware of various blocks of flats with maggot infestations in Southwark where the council have been contacted but have not taken any action. Does anyone know which avenues I can explore to get this dealt with by the local council rapidly?


Thanks in Advance

Oh how awful they spread fast to we had that in Dulwich because neighbours kept putting rotten food in blue green bins. Went out found all uo walls coming into hallway.

Avoided by using food caddy.

Easily as they lock.


But obviously in your case block flats do not use food caddie system I guess.


Definitely council need sort urgently.

Residents must go down place bins for now till cleaned.

Hot weather they breed fast from flues to maggots also when rains. After hot few, days.

Residents have been going down and the council have been informed almost 2 weeks ago about blocked bin chutes but they are just awful (and really rather rude!)

Luckily speaking to our MP has helped and kicked things into gear - We now have working bin chutes but still have maggots because the council hasn't cleaned them after almost 4 days. (I have tried everything I can find on Google but for as long as the bins were blocked the number was increasing at an alarming rate.

Helen Hayes is an excellent MP.

    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
