Pugwash Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The litter bins around the area are usually full and over flowing - the one near the Sainsburys local was bulging over and wind was redistrubuting the papers Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/31069-council-letter-re-street-litter/page/2/#findComment-634840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kford Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 If there's any rubbish blowing around outside our house, I pick it up an put it in my bin(s). It's easier than getting upset about it.

Renata Hamvas Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I haven't seen Councillor Rosie Shimell's letter. (this is not a Council letter but a letter from one of the ED Ward Councillors)There have been huge cuts to the Council's budget. Yes, there has been reduction in street cleaning, there has been cuts to the budget across all council departments. In my mind we have got our priorities right. For example, all libraries have stayed open and there is still a One O'clock Club in Peckham Rye Park. Recycling rates are up and amounts of waste to landfill down.People with dogs are supposed to clear up their waste. Most dogs owners do, but there is a minority who persistently don't.If there are bins that need emptying let me know and I will pass the information on. I will raise about litter and refuse collection on Ulverscroft. I do the same as you Kford!Renata Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/31069-council-letter-re-street-litter/page/2/#findComment-635799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Barber Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi Renata,That's really disingenuous of you.Yes council budgets have been cut. But your administration as also chosen a number of 'pork fat belly' political projects. So you've ad to make much tougher cuts to fund those.So it's clear we have different priorities. ED cllrs keeping streets clean yours include free school meals often for children from wealthy families.

Renata Hamvas Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Oh James, I will stop on this one , I can see it dissolving into political disagreement yet again. Just to say average family income in Southwark 18k, the average Southwark family would not, therefore, be eligible for free school meals. The majority of families benefitting from free, health school meals are not wealthy. Many children eligible for free school meals weren't claiming them. I have raised the issue of stuff being dropped while bins are emptied.Renata Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/31069-council-letter-re-street-litter/page/2/#findComment-635993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
