Water, water everywhere- especially Barry x Upland

Why not get your wellies on and go unblock the drains? Probably leaves and plastic bottles stuck in the street drain grids. It's not rocket science!?

 

The expression "why have a dog and bark yourself" comes to mind. We all pay council tax so that Southwark provide services like leaf clearing and street sweeping. Whilst it's easy to do it ourselves, if it's not reported to the council they won't know there's a problem hot spot and won't assign resources to it in the future.

Not very public spirited of you Spartacus! We could all ignore neighbourhood issues and leave them for the council to deal with, or with a simple act clear the leaves and prevent a bigger community problem.

I did do just that at a grid that was a few feet up from this ponding, to help it from getting worse, even sans wellies!



What’s your excuse, Super Slack?

 

Good work Nigello!


Would be a 30 minute walk each way for me. But you won't find any blocked street drains on my patch!

Super Sleuth you seem to be missing the point, unless it's on the councils radar through reporting, it won't be registered as a problem and will occur again. By reporting it the council will prioritise it for leaf cleaning and litter removal going forward.


It's akin to saying, crime is uncontrolled but not reporting crime to the police. By failing to report the police aren't aware a crime has occurred or where to deploy resources.


Reporting the problem is they key act that needs to occur and if someone wants to also clear the drain then tjats good of them.....

    • That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this? 
    • I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?
    • The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside 
    • Couple of potential ideas, anywhere in the East Dulwich areas or say close to the station?
