you can almost set your watch by it, sunday or monday rubbish is just dumped on the pavement by the alleyway.
the word is that the "boston guest house" residents use it as an overspill tip.

Howard, their bins are over filled they also have a skip that is overflowing in the back of the property, it clearly shows that they do not need bins, they need a b***dy big container every week, there must be an army living there

I've just sent those comments and photos to the Director of Waste Services at DDC and a couple of officers, asking if this can be sorted out once and for all (not for the first time).

that skip fascinates me roger, every other day something is added and stays balanced.
it reminds me of an evening in a pizza restaurant about 15 years ago and they had an all you can eat deal with the salad cart. naturally they put out small plates but one enterprising young chap(a student i think) meticulously built up his plate with great skill
taking ages forming this pyramid of grub, to cap it all he managed to get back to his table with no spillage.
everyone had stopped eating to watch.

There's also a couple of houses - probably HMOs, in Folkestone Road that have over-filled and over-flowing bins all the way from the house to the pavement.
Waste services do go out and talk to them, often with an interpreter and the rubbish is cleared, but a day or two later, it's all back and so it goes on - it's a constant battle and will continue to be so until either residents or owners are hit in the pocket; they know what should be done, but refuse to comply.
As far as I know (and this is NOT a racist comment) the worst offenders are Romany Gypsies.

absolutely not brian, council officers have enough on their plates without wet nursing people, and as you point out interpreters don't come cheap. they have made it plain to the interpreters that they have no intention of complying.

Well Did I say at the time to the D.D.C. do not let them turn the big houses into flats because how it will look like in five years time,and I and a few other Town cllrs said this would happen,why all in Dover?why all in Folkestone Rd? well I will tell you,it was just to keep them all in one Town and away from Deal and Sandwich.And Dover had all the big houses in one area and that folks is why.All to late now and even more will come, Dover is overloaded with them and also Dover is a social unbalance society and the years ahead look very bleak and the blame must be with all councils both red and this one blue over the last 30or more years but most of all the last 15years, talk and more talk what is going to happen and how great the town will look and none have come true.Just look around us and I do not have to say anymore "DO I"

you have misread the post sue, vic is criticising the record of all colours over the past 30 years, particularly the most recent 15.

Sue your party has done no more than the reds in getting to grips with the problems that were outlined at many planning committee meetings over the years.
the warning have been given out, wwe are now reaping all these problems, you may recall the council and even some posters were trying to convince us that there would be flloods of rich people from london moving to dover and the folkestone road being one area they would go.
instead as we warned the present problems are more likely

howard,its worth a punt,just to drive it home.and on top of that £80 fixed penalty notices,with money taken straight from benifits.then they should comply sooner rather than later.

i doubt whether the planning committee expected people to live 10 to a room when they passed the plans so no-one could have foreseen the disgusting state of the area.

Warning shots have been fired for a number of years but did they listen?
