matham grove bins


Recommended Posts

there are 6 to 8 wheelie bins at the end of Matham Grove before you get to Lordship Lane. They are for the indian restaurant Pistaccio Club and several other shops / flats. The problem is they are overflowing mostly with discarded indian food. The result is that the end of the road is smelly with food debris on pavement and vermin has been seen there. Does anyone know how we get the restaurant/council to clean it up, restrict the time that rubbish can be put out?

any help/ suggestions appreciated thanks

This is not just pissing against a wall. This is Southwark Council's new enviro-friendly directive to help reuse otherwise wasted, nutrient full liquid to help water the weeds and mosses pissing against a wall. Nero

Hi David

The end of Matham Grove is truly disgusting. The collection of bins belong to the Pistachio Club, the Surma, the flat above V7, Green & Blue and Celestial. The new residents above Green & Blue also choose to leave their rubbish at the site on a daily basis. The household waste, packed in black bin liners and carrier bags includes nappies a human waste. The foxes visit every night, rip the bags open and leave a disgusting trail of debris almost every morning. In this warm weather it really is vile.


I have been taking photographs on a daily basis over the last 3 weeks and I have sent them to environmental health and the planning department. (They allowed the development above Green & Blue and should have made some sort of provision for the storage and collection of rubbish from those flats) So far the only difference is the arrival of another bin!


Many Matham Grove residents are annoyed by the current situation and perhaps after years of filth at the end of our street created by traders and residents who don't live here and don't care, perhaps we should take direct action. For the time being though, I suggest we should form an action group to discuss the matter and put pressue on the council.

    • There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly.  I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption. While recently having a look through the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, I came across this determination that also clearly spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons     Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also  seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs  and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient  warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.
    • I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.
    • Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you.   --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there.   I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
