Or they could pay to dispose of commercial waste like legitimate tradespeople do. Trying to blame Southwark for not subsidising their business to justify anti-social and criminal behaviour is a terrible excuse. I hope whoever your ?friend? is gets caught and prosecuted.

Hi, I use fixmystreet.com (and the app on my phone) to report flytipping. Not only does it flag for the council to collect, but it allows the council to have real time data for trending purposes and to use for ongoing developments and waste disposal support. My old council (Sevenoaks) were brilliant at collecting once flagged. Just a thought.

Is it linked to cctv? Can?t imagine people take any notice unless it seems likely they will be caught.

My 'friend' continues to fly tip industrial waste and is yet to get even close to being caught. In fact, with all these cuts to services and councils, its actually getting easier to dump your rubbish as there is less money for enforcement.

 

Someone told me the other day that it costs businesses £100 for every visit to the official tip.


He knows a plumber who just takes his bits of pipe etc home and puts them in his green bin.


Or, presumably, his blue bin if the bits are metal.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
