If you think the bags on the pavement are bad you should see the inside of the yard. Gate was left open during Christmas period. Utterly filthy, stinking, waste bags stacked 6 feet high, food spilling out, all right outside backdoor to kitchen. Disgraceful.

I'd just like to add it seems staff have decided to move the bags back in to the "back yard". This is still not dealing with the issue of the waste though nor the fact it was dumped on the street in the first place!

Hi James....


Something I'd like to raise with you is the lack of street bins in the area!


It used to be quite normal to find one near a bus stop.... But they are gradually decreasing!


I do remember once seeing something on the forum about it... But can't remember what.


My son generally gives me his rubbish to dispose of, but it's difficult to dispose of it in the correct manner if no bins are in sight!


Please fill me in as to what's going on regarding the bins.


Can we get a replacement bin at the p13 stop outside Harris primary such plse?


Thanks

James I know this is a bit off your patch, but there is a really dangerous broken pavement (and sinkhole) outside 42 Maxted Rd. I?ve reported on the Southwark streets website but I don?t know if that gets looked at on the weekend.


On a more general point the Southwark website gives a ?24 hr? number but when you phone it there?s a recording stating it?s only open office hours. Could you ask to have the site updated please?

A real sink hole? How big is it??

James - Thanks, the number on https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=276&np=1 (Tel: 020 7525 2000 (24 hours)) just sends you to a recorded message saying the line is closed and open during business hours.


Northeastview - It's about two feet deep and seems to have undermined about three paving slabs, one of which has broken and half fallen into the hole. It's not going to swallow a house, but big enough for someone to step into and break a leg.

Hi alex_b,

I've asked council officials to fix. How barmy is that!

Hi sweetgirl,

You asked at 4.08pm on Friday. I've asked council officers for a schedule of SE22 street bins but they have up to 10 working days to respond.

As soon as I have that list and any changes to it in the last 12 months I'll let you know and we ca work out where we need new ones.

Oh ok James thanks.


It's just that I saw no mention of it.

Hello, on Colwell Road, some builders appear to have roughly hacked off one of the street trees, presumably to make way for some of their equipment. Surely this is illegal as it is council property? I can stand walking past the tree now as it was so beautiful in spring and now looks so destroyed. Builders appear to be still there as scaffolding is still up. Is there anything you can do?
Hi philosophie, if I?m thinking of the same tree I believe it was damaged when the scaffolding you mention toppled over onto the pavement some time towards the end of last year. Scary to think what could have happened if a person had been stood there at the time...

Hi Tom,

The planning advice I've received is that as long as the front bike shed is temporary and easily removed then no planning permission is required. Temporary isn't that they will be temporary rather that they're not built with bricks and mortar or a wooden shed that is weary hard to remove with destroying.

Does that answer your question?
