Rats amid filth surrounding Sainsburys car park

I'm afraid the problem of rats in the grounds surrounding Sainsburys is nothing new though I thought the problem was more under control now. I spoke to the manager about this over 10 years ago and was told I should get in touch with Southwark Council as the rats were coming in from outside their boundary and it was up to Southwark Council to get rid of the rats so they couldn't enter Sainsbury's property. Hmmmmm.


It is worrying they have reappeared and close to the nursery at that. I think contacting the Council is your best bet, not for the reasons given to me by the store manager, but I would have thought they would be able to put pressure on the store to clean up the mess as it must be a H&S issue. Can the nursery add more weight?

rats are common in a city.


The issue is the rubbish. It's either Southwark's responsibility or Sainsbury's responsibility. If it's the latter, Southwark might be interested to know it's not happening.


I would suggest call environmental services and make a complaint.

Rats are also regularly seen in the small park opposite Sainsbury's. They will be attracted to areas with food waste, and many people fill up the bins with chicken bones and other crap and then the council fail to empty the bins. Of course it's going to attract wildlife.

Ah St Francis Park. We call it the Promised Land. Our patron saint watches over us there too.

Apparently there's this man with a pipe.


But don't forget to pay him.

Correct me if I'm wrong Uncle (but I'm not) - wasn't it you who was recently bewailing in these very pages how selfish cat owners are to have pets which do such damage to wildlife? Yet there is a scientific consensus that if all cat predation on rats suddenly ceased the rat population would increase fourfold within a year and continue to increase exponentially thereafter, with disastrous consequences not only for human living conditions but also for the avian population, as cats generally prey on weak/ill birds which would not have survived anyway while rats prey on eggs. Just a little food for thought.

      Two tier PIP

      @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.

      I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities
