Rubbish Collection in Lockdown


TheCat

Recommended Posts

With everyone at home all the time, is anyone else noticing how ridiculously quickly the bins are filling up?


I'm not sure what proportion of commercial premises/schools etc have council collections versus private contracts, but given high street/commerical estates/schools are likely to be significantly scaled down waste, doesyone have any knowledge on whether it's worth asking the council to perhaps explore reallocating existing resources towards more frequent residential collections....??

Hi TheCat,

Most organisations have commercial waste contracts. I suspect many are cancelled to minimise costs for those organisations. Schools etc are charged by most councils for their rubbish collections. So again I'd expect most schools to cancel their waste contracts while they're closed to conserve their cash and redirect some to iPads and the likes for kids without such devices for home schooling.

    • I tell you what, I've answered every question you've posed to me on this thread so far, so before you deflect any further, why don't you address the simple questions I've put to you several times first. Here, give them a go: Who has been pressurising the emergency services and how? Do you genuinely believe that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the square due to inadequate signage?  
    • Which original consultation?    Err be careful with the expert opinion and data part.....if you think the cycle lobby and Aldred et al is the sole source of sound opinion on such issues! 😉 And this is where they fell foul of the law and had to re-run the consultation. It actually casts huge doubt on a lot of previous consultations (including the latest DV one) as they do not pass the legal watermark because they do not provide a yes/no response. The council are terrified of a judicial review because, I suspect under legal advice, they know they cheated the system in many previous consultations. Do you remember when the council claimed they had a mandate for the CPZs because of some seriously dodgy research conducted with a large tranche of students in the north of the borough in 2018.....
    • Perhaps the issue is that Southwark don’t listen. They didn’t take account of responses. The proposed CPZs for west Dulwich  stopped when the Council was threatened with a judicial review. Not before. Whatever consultation process was worse than flawed with McAsh arguing that because they were in power, they had a mandate and didn’t need to listen to anyone’s views, rendering any democratic process void. The criteria for LTNs was high population density, high public transport usage and low car ownership so Dulwich Village was a perfect candidate…not. Just a coincidence but I believe some councillors live within the scheme 
    • We’re looking to buy a house in ED (3 Bed, 1,100 sq ft type). Quite a few we’ve found on Landells Road, Pellatt Road and Jennings Road are half houses. Does anyone have a view or any experiences of living/buying a half house?
