My food bin was not emptied for two weeks, put in a form week one… nothing happened, tried to put in a form week 2, but was told on the phone I had to wait until after 4pm. Put in a form after 4pm , nothing happened so put in an official complaint on the phone and finally two weeks worth of smelly stuff collected. 
I hadn’t noticed week 1 that it had not been collected, only knew as the local foxes worked out how to open the brown food caddy…spreading uncollected waste all over my front yard…so I was annoyed on several levels.
My other bins are casually thrown halfway across the street every collection day, despite me putting them out where it is convenient for the crew and making sure they do not have to move the other colour bin to get to the green or blue bin. They also throw other peoples bins into my front yard.

I would appreciate my food bin to be emptied and some care taken when replacing bins. 

Bin collection line 020725 2000 worth trying, however I found them dismissive and my issue was not resolved. 

Complaints 0207525 0042 …. Actually spoke to a really excellent customer service advisor, I think only accessible on week days -office hours. She was very helpful and resolved my uncollected bin issue

I'm sure it's me having computer brain fog, but I noticed other posters had replies to their missed bin reports but I've never had an answer even though I've reported many times. I know it says they get back to you but where and how?

I'm hoping last week's garden waste will finally get emptied tomorrow, but I'm now thinking even if they do come, will they ignore it , as still haven't received my sticker for this year? We'll see.

I just spoke to the bin man who was taking the food waste bin and he said he doesn't take the brown garden waste bin! He said that was another round. Strange as theyre always taken together. He said to ring them and complain.

I think that as a group we should escalate this further if they're not emptied today.

Mine was cleared as usual in Underhill. Were other bins cleared in your road or were they all missed? Is the problem to do with the route as a whole, or your bin being missed out on its own? Does it have the right stickers on it? If it is just your bin could you work from home next Tuesday or get someone to monitor why it's being missed if other bins on the route are being collected. The guys on my route seem pretty straight and generally helpful.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
