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.)

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
