Mayfield garages: And now for the bad news....

It has been brought to my attention that dumping is continuing apace in the Mayfield garages. This is of course tragic, bad and a whole load of other asterisk filled words.

What makes it worse however is that the guilty party is known and very much close to home. One among us was spotted dumping a dirty great carpet in the garages recently. I don't wish to name names but suffice to say the residents of an even numbered house whose two numbers add up to 10 (first No. is "4")should be experiencing a bout of warm ears if they are reading this piece.

This is a real kick in the teeth to those of us trying to encourage the council to clean up the area, doing absolutely nothing for our credibility.

Can I please ask everyone living in Mayfield avenue to keep an eye out for locals who look like they are shuffling off down the road towards the garages with large amounts of rubbish. If you spot one try and gently remind them that there is a wonderful, official dumping site at Carterhatch lane, which would be much better suited for this purpose and in fact has great recycling capabilities. All they need is their Recycling Centre Residents Permit, which should have arrived with their council tax. If they have lost it, dog ate it etc. they can simply call 020 8379 1788 during office hours with their council tax account number and request one for free. In addition the local rubbish men will pick up a whole bunch of stuff, follow this link here to read the details.

If that fails feel free to concoct a uniquely satisfying set of anglo-saxon expletives and shop them to the council environmental health officer.
