Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Is the Winter (of Discontent) Here?- Rubbish on Green Lanes
Just been out to buy a few things, and what a bloody mess Green Lanes is in!
I have reported it via the Haringey Ap, and sent pics to my one contact in Veolia, but it looks like a collection has been missed given the number of ripped open bags strewn everywhere and secondary dumping that is occurring.

8 channels of shit on the screen (TV) to choose from ... Veolia have definitely left the party they signed up for. Councillor Stuart McNamara commented at a meeting recently that unfortunately Haringey is stuck contractually for many more years with this company :0

John, don't know about you but I think the rubbish collect has gone to pot on Wightman, I've had to ask for my food waste to be collected at least 5 times since August! The road is also looking decidedly shabby with litter everywhere. The road sweeper who used to sweep every day seems to have disappeared. There are definitely problems with the Veolia contract, I'm in contact with colleagues on the council to try and find out the extent of the problem - it's been hinted to me that it's not good. I'll keep everyone updated as and when I have more information. Just wish we had some decent local councillors!!!

I had a problem for the last few weeks Karen where out recycling and grey bins were not collected for several weeks on more than one occasion and the last time most of Pemberton was not collected from the look of it.
So, I contacted Ayer Ozil, Veolia's outreach manager and got the following response (I had been told by a Veolia operative they would *only* take bins if taken to the threshold of the property):
"- We do ask that Refuse and Recycling bins are placed by the edge of properties where possible, however if the bin is not presented we still aim to collect the bins which are accessible and do not pose any risk with health and safety such as steps or any unsafe surface.
- The Operations Manager has assured me that he will arrange for the recycling collection on Pemberton Road N4 to be monitored to ensure all the bins are collected as per schedule."Ayer is a nice chap, his details are:

Thankfully the rubbish has now been cleared, but new bags are starting to pile up already in spots!

I have had problems over the past few weeks - first food waste going uncollected for three weeks in a row, then rubbish taken a day late, then this week the green recycling was a day late. Feels like the system is going to pot.

I got a response on this by the way. Apparently it was deliberate, enjoy!
"I have discussed the issue of bags of waste being left uncollected on Green Lanes with the Operations Manager and I have been informed that the reason for the bags being left on Green Lanes was due to a scheduled leave down of waste.
The leave downs are scheduled by Haringey Council and are conducted to try to find any illegal waste being deposited by traders or residents along a stretch of road.
I have received confirmation that the waste was removed after investigation was carried out by both Haringey Council and Veolia."

Well I hope they do a bit of naming and shaming of anyone they successfully prosecute. Rubbish dumping is a real pet hate of mine.
