Disgraceful rubbish problem at top of Kimberley Gardens

Well, Richard, I'm surprised to hear that Cllr Mayor David Brown wasn't immediately on to the Gokyuzu-Hala-Kimberley case. With Cllr Canver and a few other local notables he was an honoured guest testing out the old shish kebab at Gokyuzu's official opening some time back. There's a video of the heavenly event somewhere.

I think you'd be better off pursuing Alan's line to Cllr Brabazon, but not while she's busy with the Brussels sprouts. Funny, I've never noticed any sprouts on the Gokyuzu menu.

Time for a new Kimberley Process, I'm sure, before our mini-squares are the scenes of civil strife worse than the Blood Diamonds affair.

Thanks for the tip. Goykuzu and Hala have Veolia bins so I think the council should be able to sort this. Brownes actual words were 'I've just walked round and I can't see a problem' - this was after all my calls and got the council to do a clear up. Then it was 'oh look I can't talk now ill call you back' with a very rude tone. Oh and he never called back.

I'd like to see people complaining about rubbish on here make a video like the one I did last year and upload it to youtube. Don't tag it "Harringay" but "Haringey". Social media can be used to vent but it can also be used to apply pressure to businesses that are playing fast and loose with the law. For this one I'd like to see the rubbish and then the front of the shop you think it came from. And loading photos up to HoL uses up the storage allowance, get a flickr account, Alan makes very good use of his and it gets a wider audience. You can always link back to it from here (like I did).

The top of Chesterfield Gardens for the last day - the way the bike's parked is adding an extra element of danger. Basically the residents on Chesterfield Mews now have so many bins that they either block the parking spaces, or block the front doors, so they move them round the corner to block the pavement on Chesterfield gardens instead! This happens roughly every fortnight,  I report this to both the council neighbourhood action team and Veolia and they get moved back - but no-one seems to be coming up with a soloution to stop it happening again. 

Both Goykuzu and Hala leave the large commercial waste bins there to be collected on collection day (I'm assuming that's at the request of the commercial company who collects them)  - but they do at least make sure they don't block the pavements, and they are moved back again once the rubbish is collected.  However I suspect that just adds to residents on the Mews thinking that bit of pavement is storage for their bins, rather than a public right of way.
