Fair warning, this is a little strange.


A few weeks ago we found a plastic carrier bag filled with ash placed on the pavement outside our house. This was on a Tuesday evening, the bins are emptied on Tuesday mornings, so we wondered if it had perhaps fallen off the refuse lorry. So we disposed of it and thought little of it.

About a week later another one appeared tucked in under the front of our hedge. It seemed a mildly irritating bit of fly tipping, but hey ho, that's life, binned it.

The following Tuesday morning leaving the house I almost tripped over a metal bucket, full of ash, left on the pavement right outside the door. This was a bit much and I was quite irritated. Then as I walked up Abbotswood Road I saw a bag of ash outside another house and one more outside a house on Burrow Road.

Last night I walked home and counted one bag at the entrance of Burrow Road, Three on Abbotswood and a last one on Talbot in addition to a further one under our hedge.

This evening walking back from the station two more have popped up on St Francis Road.


We are at something of a loss to work out the motivation behind this or how to stop it. Has anybody else noticed more of these little packages being distributed? It does not feel like a criminal matter but we would like it to cease.

    • Another recommendation for Oddbods. As proof of our satisfaction we've asked them to return for some more jobs, which is sign we were happy with their work
    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
