Ours is scheduled for Wednesdays, but Thursday last time. Every year we produce more recycling, and the delivery of packages in cardboard is a huge part of it now. I hate it. Yet there are no local collection points left. When we moved here in 2006 there were big bins all over. They have gone, and it is just blue bins now. Old Kent Road Recycling is still Book in Advance from COVID days. I'd love to have something more like the poubelle concept favoured in mainland Europe. We make different amounts of rubbish each week as households. Why do we need huge bins (3 wheelies here) that might be empty one week, and overflowing the next? I'm getting red in the face and have LBC on speed dial.

Had ours missed yesterday, second time in just over a month...I submitted a missed collection form and it was emptied today, not sure if it was just ours or the whole road. Last time it was def just ours.


The guys dong the collections are a really nice bunch of people in my experience and it's not the end of the world, can't imagine how exhausted they all must be at the end of every shift, it's just a bit annoying the council isn't maybe investing enough into the service for it to be running properly.

blue bin missed on Wednesday 6th April, just logged the mis collection on the councils website and it asks, did we miss the blue bin collection on Thursday 7th April??? Telephoned environment who assured me my normal recycling blue bin collection is wednesdays each week and has not been changed. I have logged the mis appointment on their website. The last time I reported such an incident with the food waste, the council ridiculously emailed back to say the crews could not find the food caddy - strange as the food caddy is sits in the same place each week. I do not rate trhe service at all- - Copleston road

    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent.
