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.)

    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened.

    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly. 
    • https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!
