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.

    • We have a very large collection - anything in particular you are looking for?
    • I'm thinking of going to India at Christmas and it's been 18 years since I last visited. So long ago, I can hardly remember where I went (I was there for 8 weeks...). Has anyone been to the South recently? I'm thinking Kerala, as we fancy some beach action. 
    • If it's not bolted down it gets stolen, terrible. Some people have no respect for others property.  Hope you reported it to the Police and got a crime reference number, what did they say? 
    • Try pavement, this is London, not the US. The Mayor increased his proportion of council tax in 2025/26 to pay for "more" haha PC's but my understanding is they were cut not increased. A rouse by the Mayor to take more and give nothing in return.  Troubling and far too common here.  Just be careful where you get it out
