Aria responded immediatley after contacting him about our toilet leak. He solved the problem in a very professional and friendly way and even made the effort of coming here on a Saturday. Communication on his side as well as explaining step by step was extremely helpful. I will happily contact him again in the future.
Where did I suggest that those in Southwark should pay more?
I gave what seemed to be a likely reason why Lambeth is able to spend more than Southwark on street cleaning, if that is in fact the case.
Local elections are coming up soon. I'm sure this would be an excellent opportunity for you to ask the existing councillors - and other people who are standing for election - what their priorities would be if elected!
Southwark Council have a £70m budget shortfall over the next three years, largely driven by the raising cost of adult social care, children’s social care and homelessness. I am sure they’d like to prioritise street cleaning more, but this isn’t realistic. If you’re interested in a breakdown of how they spend their money, the headlines are here:

I’m sure there are areas where the council could make better decisions or be more efficient, but they’re working in a very challenging financial context.
