Same problem here.


And where are we supposed to put rotting food at the moment when we don't have a brown bin (or brown caddy)

You may also want to email [email protected] - they sorted my issue out pretty promptly.

Im guessing you are talking about the leaves, after 20 yrs of sweeping them up and the ?1000s spent due to subsidence from the trees. Im not going to pay for a bin as well. I don't believe I am obligated to get rid of the leaves.


Personally my garden is not huge and will be happy to have one less bin and will just pay for bags when i need them.

Discounted compost bins are available for about the cost of a year of bags. They aren't the most elegant but if you aren't too fussed, and have space, they might be part of a solution for you.

My Veolia mole again - problems with some collections may be down to the removal of a (blue/ green bin) lorry from the circuit, and then its replacement (when there was found to be too much work) by an entirely new crew - just given a map of where to collect from. So they have no 'crew' knowledge of their routes and therefore aren't replacing bins correctly because (if they're using runners ahead of the lorry), they don't know where exactly they've been pulled out from. I found 3 blue bins in my drive on Tuesday, only one of which was mine! I think I re-homed them correctly. Normally crews are replaced piecemeal (except where an emergency crew is on) so route knowledge is passed on within a team. Hey ho!

What happens when people are away on holiday and bins are just plonked anywhere and can stay there forever.


I have had bins parked on my front steps that do not belong to me.


Nobody in my area would even think of putting bins back where they came from even when they have numbers painted on.


Most places in my area are three flat victorian conversions with young renters who do not give a damm.


Most workable and tried and tested systems evolve over time unlike now by a untested PC idea.

The same green truck, staffed by Veolia contractors is now reversing, yes reversing, the wrong way down the bus lane on Lordship Lane opposite the Lordship Estate towards Dulwich Library, picking up bins as they go. The single most stupid piece of driving I?ve seen for a while. And yes people have tried to tell them it?s dangerous but are just being waved round.

That was happening to us as well (neighbours using our bin) .. until it got taken away ! It was actually filled up with garden waste once coincidentally the same day our neighbours were gardening

It?s ?25 not ?35


?25 for the part year (the scheme didn't start until well after April) - it was meant to be pro-rata for ?30 for a full year. Whether they stick to ?30 when they set the fee for next year is a moot point, of course! Don't hold your breathe on this would be my advise. If so few people are taking the scheme up, they'll probably want to up the fee to get their expected returns for next year, as their revenues will be nowhere near their costs of implementation this year, I'm guessing.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.

      Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
