Anyone know anything about the household renovation rubbish dumped at top on North Cross road next to the cycle storage unit opposite the actress??


Can?t believe anyone would have that much front to fly tip in such a built up area but unfortunately looks like this is what?s happened.


Thought would just check before trying to report to the council/ police

Opposite the Actress, in Upland Rd, next to the Old Police Station,there's a silver Renault with a Southwark Council notice on it saying it was moved from another road to that position by them. It's now been there for weeks and the notice has faded so you can no longer read the road it was removed from. Presumably the owner either doesn't know it's there, or doesn't want it.

Yep, the cycle hangar has always been completely empty whenever I've walked past.


I don't think the council can put them up to the corner because they stick out too far. So they put them about 4/5ths of a car length away so there is no room for a car at the junction side, thus taking up almost three normal spaces.

Yes sad when builders and others, including private individuals, feel that it is fine to drive to a country road (or Camberwell old cemetery) and dump building waste, tyres and the like. I don't go with any of the argument that it is due to the cost/hassle of using local authority tips, including difficulties during Covid. I know of geezers and the like driving around with old vans, caged trucks and the like, offering services, which are totally ligit, so don't always go by looks! But if you are having cut price building or gardening work will be worth checking for your own sanity/sleeping at night that your trash wont end up in a verge.

I think some of you are being a bit miserly here. They are using a tiny bit of road that has no utility at all for anyone else to temporarily place items they are removing from their site. There is no space for a skip there and this is the most considerate way they could do their work.


They could be less considerate and just pile it against the wall each day while they wait for parking spot to come free so that they can load it into a van.

No problem with that whatsoever.. just initially looked like a load of dumped stuff ... as long as all rules are being complied with.. not sure I agree re the skip placement- ok maybe not a space directly outside the house so potentially they might need to walk a further 5 yards to get to it.. more likely to be cost saving exercise
It is a pretty colour of yellow on that house but a pity the landlord/owner won't paint over the scrawl. (I noticed that some of the vandalised shops in the area have had a clean up, which is good and hopefully will aid retail post lockdown, even if it's just a small contribution.)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
