Blue recycling boxes


Spartacus

Recommended Posts

Southwark have decided to no longer supply or support the use of the smaller blue boxes for recycling

Fot those of you that currently use a blue box, it will be removed and a large blue bin will replace it.

A lot of people use the blue boxes to avoid cluttering their gardens or the street so whilst I understand their health and safety reason, it's going to potentially lead to more clutter on bin day or more bins left on streets as there is no room in properties.

    • I have an amazing one but doesn’t need work, it’s Indian rosewood and around 100yrs Old.
    • Criminals prefer well lit streets too.  I expect that Southwark has turned up the brightness of the street lights which has increased crime.   early research suggests no increase in crime, possibly a decrease but Covid makes analysis more complex   https://findingspress.org/article/19414-the-impact-of-introducing-a-low-traffic-neighbourhood-on-street-crime-in-waltham-forest-london
    • Male acting very suspiciously on Court Lane and adjacent roads (Calton Avenue, Gilkes Crescent, Woodwarde Road etc…) There’s been a very significant increase in crime on these roads and adjacent roads due to the Southwark Council LTN, even more so with the recent works that are ongoing Residents and their property are being deliberately and negligently put at risk by Southwark Council’s actions and criminals are deliberately targeting this area and exploiting it given significantly reduced flow of people, much quieter, poor lighting, easy getaway and no access for the police The closure of the junction at Court Lane, Dulwich Village and Calton Avenue is a boon to thieves and criminals making the adjacent streets much less safe. The workmen have put in place wrought iron bollards in the middle of the road on Court Lane and Calton Avenue which stops police and other emergency services from accessing from Dulwich Village This materially increases the risks to residents and crime has gone up materially as a result The workmen say that they are under strict instructions from Southwark Council to put the wrought iron bollards in the middle of the road and that there’s nothing that they can do it alao stops ambulances and fire engines from getting through 
    • There’s no need to talk about Deux Chevaux - just because I can park my car in my front garden next to my bins.
