Fly Tipping- North Cross Road

[kbabes]

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

You cna report it on -2- 7525 2000 and do not have to leave any details about yourself. Generally, Southwark deals quickly with flytipping, dead trees, etc. but it all costs money and has to come from a finite budget. Some people, eh?

There were builders working in the house next to it yesterday.

[kbabes]

Do you know the number?

I saw a woman leaving black bin bags near a chair on Darrell road earlier today. I didn?t realise what she had done until I wakes up to the stuff abs saw she had just left it all there. She drove off.

I don't think it is fly tipping at all - there are builders there every day working on the building next to it.

Presumably it is impossible to place a skip there because of the empty cycle hangar taking up three parking spaces in the road.

[northernmonkey]

Really - there's an empty cycle hanger? There are 1000s of people on waiting lists so if this is true, its excellent for them!

[kbabes]

agree re the cycle storage container.. parking is a nightmare at the best of times and the council install this without ensuring adjacent to the double yellow lines.. I complained but fell on deaf ears!

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.

[Abe_froeman]

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.

I actually helped hold it open for someone getting their bike out last week.

And yes, that building is being worked on, I don't think it's fly tipping.

[kbabes]

good to hear if not fly tipping, it's a bloody epidemic throughout the lanes of Kent & North Downs, as any club cyclists on here will know.

The Hansler Road fly tippers!

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.

You need permission to leave stuff such as building material on the road. It would be interesting to know if the people in North X Rd have done so

Seems to be being cleared up this morning

[Abe_froeman]

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.

[kbabes]

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

[Nigello]

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.)
