And how can I follow this up without any details John ? If you would like to email me with details, I will see what I can do.
If the rubbish is on the public highway, then the council will have it removed; they will try to determine ownership and then fine those owners. If it is on private land, then it is either the tenant or owners responsibility, they will intervene if there is an environmental health concern.
I had a meeting recently with the waste-services department and the enforcement people in Folkestone Road; we meet at the bridge and a whole range of topics were discussed (dog-poo, a play area, waste bins, landlords, litter, weeds, front gardens etc. and all are being worked on.
The people living at the old Boston Guest House at the junction of Malvern Road and Folkestone Road are a particular problem, they had been told several times that they must move their wheelie bins round the back, as they have a large (ish) garden there to put the bins and they must not be on the pavement on the front.
Now they have big metal bins and they are (still) on the pavement on the front.
When they went again to request they are put round the back "speak no English - no understand", so now they have to go with an interpreter who speaks their language.
I would be very, very surprised if no one there can speak English, I think they are just being difficult.
Some serious talks with landlords is the next step.
The Folkestone Road should and could be a road to be pround to live on, but with people like those mentioned above - and others, it won't be.
