I've lost count of the number of times the bins have been missed down our road. The blue bins have been emptied in Goodrich Road and the surrounding area. I've just done an inspection. From the bottom of Donkey Alley and all the way up, the bins are full. I've reported a missed collection but experience has told me that the report is never acted on.

We have had this problem for close to three months now, we live on East Dulwich Grove & I'm calling the council every week to arrange recollections, even that is not enough as they often just don't come once the recollection has been booked.


I'm going through the complaints process, our complaint has just been escalated to stage two but I'm not holding out much hope, our recycling bins (we have six or seven flats in our building) have currently been sat outside for two weeks.


They even had the front to lie to defend themselves saying our bins were behind a locked gate (they're not, I drag them out myself every Monday) & to say they are contaminated, no sh*t Sherlock, if you don't pick them up on time.....

Had the same problem about untrue information. The last time it wasn't collected my husband managed to catch one of the refuse collectors on following bin day. He insisted that the bin hadn't been left out, even though I'd dragged it there myself. I insisted that it had been there but he would not back down. I could only find the report missed bin page on the council website and no phone number, so no chance to speak to a human being on the phone.

Definitely worth giving environmental services a call (02075252000) and sending an email [email protected]. If all else fails, email the CEO - Eleanor Kelly ([email protected]).


We had a similar situation which resulted in a maggot infestation, so I highly recommend contacting anyone and everyone.


Southwark Council are well versed when being creative with the truth!

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Rockets · Posted

      Two wrongs don't make a right. Labour ran on a manifesto of "we aren't like them" and "we are different" and"you can trust us/we will restore faith in politics". They are doing nothing to convince anyone that any of those promises are being met - they are letting everyone down. u-turning on everything and are fast-tracking the doomsday scenario of a Reform government. Even the runway on the "it's all the Tories fault" is running out. I dislike politicians because they cannot be trusted and Rayner just highlighted that with ribbons on. She should have been so careful after the focus on the electoral roll issues she had with the house in Ashton-under-Lyne and then under a year later this comes up. Clearly the advice she took included a recommendation to take proper advice that she failed to do - that's just daft and the most galling thing is that she didn't just resign when this came up - she tried to spin out of it but must have known she was toast. Trust is fast being eroded. I desperately want Labour and Starmer to fix this because the alternative it too scary to think about but the way things are going they are fast-tracking Farage into No.10. Labour are letting us all down.

      So you are also old enough to remember the Heath Out protest by the TUC when unemployment hit 1 million? We all have selective memories, this thread is no different. Please give me a list of the Labour sleaze. And compare it to the Tories.  There are a few of you who appear to have a long term dislike of Labour, so all this is a gift.
