I don't know if other residents are having this problem. Having paid my ?30 for garden waste collection a couple of weeks ago, I still havent received a sticker for the bin and the refuse collectors won't empty it. They want a reference number which I unwisely never wrote down. After hanging on the council phone for half an hour I have now been cut off. I've given up.

A good thing to do if your one is full or you dont want to pay the annual fee, is just put it in someone elses brown bin in your street or beyond. You'll find that often people do not fill them up anywhere near full, so theres plenty of room for your garden waste.

Bad advice. It's really not good to use someone else's bin, you never know when they'll need it and they will have also paid for it. Someone keeps using ours and several times there's been no room for our own garden waste.


Crap that the council haven't sent the OP their sticker though.

The absurdity is that we have nothing alive in our garden. All the green waste we put into our bin is from stuff that either falls, blows or grows over our neighbours' fences. Lately, I've been clearing the pavements along our road given the monstrous and destructive weeds that have been allowed to sprout and I'm not inclined to volunteer to pay extra for the privilege of disposing of this.

The council have sprayed all the "weeds" in my road.


Why do you call them monstrous and destructive? In the country, they would be called wild flowers.

Same problem in Peckham rye, paid subscription in March but no sticker. I keep reporting missed collection online but they don't respond, phoned environmental services umpteen times still not resolved. Have now started a stage 1 complaints procedure online which they say they have until August to respond to...................

      Derelict Grove Tavern - who to contact?

      By Angell34 · Posted

      I live opposite the Grove and it’s an eye sore and a fire hazard. Dulwich Estate should be ashamed of how they’ve let building just go to ruin.  The skate park is a great edition. The creativity behind the build is to be commended. It’s always in use and there is normally a young woman in a high viz clearly rubbish and picking up trash, so it’s well looked after. The fact that parents bring their little ones here to use the skate park shows it has a purpose in the community.  Unfortunately very late at night it’s used as a “party drinking zone” probably by people completely unrelated to the park. Last Saturday at 2am the music was blaring and you could hear the noise - incidents like this do cause an issue but it’s not the parks fault.  We’ve already had 1 homeless chap living in that space and setting fire to it and that’s my main concern, that there will be a huge fire and someone will be injured or killed. Maybe Dulwich Estate wants it burnt down and declared derelict so then they can do what they want with the land - as I understand there is a “will covenant” regarding what they can do with it.

      Parcel Thief - Nunhead Cemetery

      By jj13 · Posted

      Unfortunately someone stole two boxes from our front porch today on Limesford Rd, opposite Nunhead cemetery. Across two visits, spanning about 5 minutes, he took two parcels that were left on our doorstep before heading off on his bike. I saw it happen via our doorbell camera but missed him by a couple of minutes. Neither contained anything that valuable, but it was incredibly brazen.  Hoping someone recognises him - or can advise on the best way to file this with the Met?
