Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Baldwin’s butchers employees NOT fly tipping
Further investigations showed that this shop was not fly-tipping Read page 2 below
Caught these 2 chancers working at Baldwin’s fly tipping, in case anyone is wondering where the massive mattress and bed base at the bottom of Mattison have come from. They were dragging the stuff out from the flat next to the butchers. Utterly shameless, in broad daylight. I used to shop a fair bit at Baldwin’s and thought they were a real asset to our high street but I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. I have written to the council who I hope will take swift and decisive action.

I've dropped them a line and offered them the chance to comment. There may (or may not) be some completely innocent explanation.

An explanation would be most welcome. The items have now moved upstream, next to the infamous electrical box.

Alice. I think I made a point below that the chap running the place is not as tech savvy as some of us, and email is clearly not a preferred communication medium. I suspect he never even read the email...

I already have. Mattresses still out there - in addition to some more rubbish. I won’t be setting foot in that store again.

Why? Don't you like their meat? Do you maybe think there is some link between their meat and their fly-tipping? Do you not like the present government because they sell arms to Saudi Arabia? Can you not distinguish between different kinds of behaviour under different circumstances?

You are right. Dirty mattresses and bacon are complementary goods. Hopping around that rubbish on my way to work can’t be done on an empty stomach...

Just as I skim down I saw your point about having reported it Kotkas. What is sad is that after a full working week the mattress (and more now) is still there...

Thank you so much for reporting! I reported another business last year - council were actually quite good and phoned me to tell me they had issued a fine that had been paid.
In terms of shopping there again - that is a no from me. I won't support businesses that destroy the local area!
Good to hear if they comment...

Well done for catching them on camera and reporting. As a local business that expects the support of locals, they should be ashamed for contributing to the horrible dumping ground this area has become.

I was walking down Mattison yesterday and saw the dump of rubbish proliferating.
I was sad that a business I used would do this I know these guys from years of buying from them. So, I went in to have a word. I spoke to Andy, the boss he said it was not his rubbish. I pointed out that there were photos of his team with these materesses in hand. Andy said that the rubbish had been dumped at the bottom of the road and it was a mess so he had his boys move It so as to be less unsightly he was actually quite annoyed and frustrated by the level of dumping, especially from the charity shop next door that sees people leaving bags of things when closed that others then rummage through and spread all over the place
I explained to Andy how to use the Our Haringey Ap to report it. We struggled to get beyond the set up phase as you need things like email addresses that Andy was not 100% sure about I hope his daughter (who helps him with things like this) can help him complete the set up in the end I reported it myself so hopefully it will get sorted soon.
I guess the moral is not to rush to judge, don’t get me wrong I am the worst for this and it helped immensely that I am on first name terms so that I could have a level and decent conversation that is often hard to do. The key thing though is for those thinking this was their fault, it was not I am a big believer in being good corporate neighbours and that the traders need to take responsibility for their impact on the high street (it ticks me off to see some of them littering) . In this case I think we may have Baldwin’s wrong
