Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Fly tipping in Harringay Passage
Harringay Passage is becoming an open sewer and a de facto free rubbish tip. Not to mention the health issues with all this rubbish.
When is something going to be done about this?

That's bo***cks - the problem was there way before the council's bin policy, and it's clearly getting worse. Just clearing it up is not working, when is some proper action being taken? These people needs to be identified and dealt with properly, hefty fines, and well publicized what the consequences are, and what will happen to the next person who does it.
Just reporting it and waiting for the next load to be dumped is not good enough. Have been saying this for years. It's ridiculous, and it's really putting people off living round there.
Preventative measures needs to be taken asap or all you will be left with is rats..

When I've spoken to Veolia they've referred me to Haringey and when i've spoken to Haringey they have to referred me back to Veolia. I used to have a direct line to someone in Haringey from reporting rubbish so often but he stopped answering my emails and calls. Cant think why...
Haringey needs to be tougher with their landlords and do more to help short term tenants dispose of their rubbish. Perhaps they need to have days in the calendar for amnesty rubbish collections when people can leave out all their stuff in their front gardens rather than dumping it in the passage. I'm sure I read on an earlier thread that something like this used to happen.

There used to be a twice yearly free collection and I miss that as I don't have a car and it is not nice having to ask friends to take e.g.a dead BBQ to the dump. The problem doesn't go away by reporting the rubbish and having it taken away, but you wouldn't stop cleaning your house or doing your laundry because it gets dirty again would you? Separately something preventative needs to take place and I would agree that massive fines and publicity would be one of the avenues, but additional refuse collections from houses with many residents and/or change overs would also make sense.

added refuse collections for HMOs might be good, but who would pay for that, and how to identify them? Most of them are the results of dodgy tactics by more than shady landlords, as I was made painfully ware of during my time on the Ladder. Also, fly tipping in the passage and on Ladder roads was rife before the council started this "brilliant" new refuse collection system, so I don;t think that's to blame. It's the landlords who do this as a cheap and cheerful way of clearing out their house. they know some sap will report it, and another sap will collect. Job done! no comeback on them, and they probably live far from the Ladder anyway, so it's it's not collected, who cares? It's not them drowning in rubbish. the council need to finally start taking this seriously, stop pussyfooting around and take some serious action. Before every decent resident in the area has decided they can't take it anymore and leave.

Actually Annette, I know you left Harringay, but I think Harringay has got a huge inflow of decent people who engage and what Haringey needs to do is to engage with all of its citizens to change behaviours and penalise where appropriate. Litter/dumping etc is blighting the UK even beautiful country lanes.

Oh yes, that's the big problem, isn't it, Charlotte, I left! how DARE I! And you're still there...
What do you base your statement on then? Do you have a "lovely people" log? Didn't think so.
My point, which you seem to have missed, is that when nothing improves, people you need to stay will leave. Yes, other people will replace them. Engage for a bit and then realise there's nothing happening and leave. You will have no continuity. There need to be constant firm pressure on the council to solve the problem. There are a few people on here that's been working very hard for the local community, and then quite a few who's given up, and has been replaced by newbies like yourself. Talk to me agin a few years down the line and let's see where you are. Until then, not interested, -

Anette, we are about to elect a local property developer onto the council. Don't expect any change there.

Annette I have no problem with you leaving I just find it hard to understand why you are continuously slagging of Harringay. Shouldn't it be the residents dealing with the issues. I meet lots of nice people and have lived in Haringey for several decades. It is probably best not to reignite this discussion again.
