Garage fly tipping at the bottom of Mayfield Avenue - update

It appears that the inaction is due to a classic "teflon", "not my problem" scenario. The garages, although council owned, are being sold to the Acton Housing Association, who will be re-developing the site into 17 2-bedroom flats and 2 3-bedroom flats (more of this later).

The council appears keen to place responsibility of the upkeep of the area on the shoulders of the association. The association in return refutes this by insisting that until the deal is finalised the area remains the responsibility of the council.

Stalemate.

In the meantime, while these two gangs squabble in the political playground yet more rubbish is being dumped there.

Action is required soon. A key contact appears to be Nick Grayston of the the Acton Housing Association on 020 8379 5297. I would also suggest contacting Enfield councils new Enforcement supremo Mike Hainge, who has been in the local press claiming to be cracking down on fly-tipping amongst other things. Must have accidentally missed this one then....

I will be returning to this again soon.
