  I agree that many of the problems we face in Folkestone Road and the surrounding areas now, were borne out of the conversions from large family homes into tiny units.
  
  Vic. Keith and myself argued at every planning committee meeting when these applications came up. Didn't make a blind bit of difference though.
  
  There seems to be an increasing number of people in Folkestone Road who seem intent on bringing the area down to the level they lived in, when in their home country.
  
  As Howard's photos show, there are over-filled and over-flowing bins with rubbish all over the floor, from the house to the pavement.
  
  When I sent a letter to waste services yesterday, I said about the houses round numbers 191/193 (I couldn't remember the exact numbers - it turns out it is 181 and 183), I had a reply saying that a visit was made and 193 is clear, so that O.K. then; no mention of the houses just a few paces away with all this rubbish (181 & 183).
  Collection day has come and gone, but the rubbish is still there.
  Everyone with decent standards is outraged that they can make so much mess and no action taken against them.
  There may be procedures to go through, but they obviously are NOT working.
