Let's just say one thing

If you report miss collection

The crew that does the round gets the message on their on-board computer

- Yes they do have them - trucls are fitted GPS and they are also able to tell every time that the truck stops and how long for

Every truck is fitted with cctv 4 cameras on each side for evidence

...

What I'm trying to say is

Every truck has pre programmed route

And time and unless there is no obstructions

They work like a Swiss watch

(If the truck can't get in , they can't get in)

If your bin is not beeing emptied on the day and time when it usually is

Then you need to ask yourself 2 questions

1) is there access

2) is my bin out

- Oh yeah

They are paid to collect bins that are out

Not inside your front garden

Speak to the council and ask if the collection is from the property (garden is your private property)

Or from outside the property

(I'm sure it's outside - otherwise council would be sued for millions in damages to grass , slabs , gates etc)

-

My point is

Get your bin out

And boys will empty it

I live in a block of 6 flats at the junction of Landcroft/Pellatt Roads - we have a communal 4 wheeled ie large bin


which was last collected on May 21st, next collection was due 4th June.


I have reported the missed collection last week and again today - and the occupant of another flat has reported it at least twice.


From the Southwark website: - Missed Collection Order Completed

Thank you for your report of a missed waste collection. This will be investigated and actioned within 2 working days.

Your reference number is MIS-21483


Does anyone know if any of our local councillors are worth contacting about this (or even Helen Hayes MP) ??

    • And I worry this Labour government with all of it's own goals and the tax increases is playing into Farage's hands. With Trump winning in the US, his BFF Farage is likely to benefit from strained relations between the US administration and the UK one. As Alastair Campbell said on a recent episode of The Rest is Politics who would not have wanted to be a fly on the wall of the first call between Angela Rayner and JD Vance....those two really are oil and water. Scary, scary times right now and there seems to be a lack of leadership and political nous within the government at a time when we really need it - there aren't many in the cabinet who you think will play well on the global stage.
    • I look to the future and clearly see that the law of unintended consequences will apply with a vengeance and come 2029 Labour will voted out of office. As someone once said 'The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money'. 
    • Labour seems to be taxing the many to get to the few in so many policies they have implemented. Look at the farmer situation: yes there are some rich farmers but the vast majority are not and they are, in my mind, the very definition of a working person - the very people this country relies upon. Most are family businesses. They were re-running some of the Simon Reeves programmes on the Lake District and it was filmed just after Covid but they featured an 18 year old farmer who was took over his parents farm after they both died of cancer within months of each other. He and his school friends were mucking in to keep the farm going and continue the family business. Today, he would have been hit by a big tax bill too. The challenge is Rachel Reeves' budget desperately needs growth and with the news today that the economy barely grew on, ostensibly, fears of what the budget was going to hit people with and the fact post budget many businesses are saying costs will have to go up due to the increases in employee NI but at the same time saying wage growth, and even jobs, will be impacted we may be heading towards a very nasty perfect storm. Public services desperately need reform not just more money. Wes Streeting said that reform was needed in the NHS and he was talking in a manner more akin to a Tory health secretary than a Labour one!
