The Veolia teams that have serviced Underhill for the last few years (certainly before lockdown) have generally been very tidy. A few spillages but not noticeably many, and often from very overfilled bins. I have seen them take brooms to sweep up real accidental spillages. There are problems with fox or cat scattered rubbish from accessible bins, and from food wrappers discarded by passers bye, but that is neither Veolia's nor the council's fault. -

Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky. Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog? thanks in advance! -
I think you have been very kind towards the the council. And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful. I know it is a very controversial opinion but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built. The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in. In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order. I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed. It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to. Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse. And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls. -
Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago that litter picking and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
