where's the planning application for it? It's not a huge site
-
I have sent several emails to my local councillors over the last year - and copied them on more. Their responses have been notably absent. Perhaps they feel that their seats are so secure they don't need to bother with constituents' case-work any mo…

I think it said more about the state of national politics at the time to be honest.

You could try a Freedom Of Information request. You can also use your rights under Section 7 of the Data Protection Act (Data subject access request) to get all data pertaining to your case. For maximum embarrassment, include your Data Subject Acc…

The latter I suspect - incompetence. good luck holding elected representatives to account - Labour could have put up Mira Hidley as a candidate in Haringey and still won.

The Rotten Boorough getting even more rotten?
-
Islington seem to at least eventually respond to reports (although they close the tickets generated some time afterwards). I've had instances where they haven't responded and can give you the name of the person responsible if you wish to complain d…

There is loads of it on the lower end of SGR near Sainsbury's and round the corner of Lennox Road. There it appears to be domestic rubbish left out on the pavement near Vista House or the social/affordable housing of the John Jones development. Seem…

For anybody with romanticised views on rough sleeping - this provides some insight. The series is shot in Bristol, but it's not hard to see how it translates to London. Anybody know whether the Police and council are taking a similar approach? - c…

@miss annie: I assume this is where they've been spending much of the evening?
-
This evening, not only were the bedrooms/begging pitches gone, but so were their occupants. I assume today's operation involved an Dispersal Order as well as street cleaning. Sadly, Haringey didn't do their side of the road where a pile of discar…

The thought of the kind of fans Liam Gallagher attracts worries more far more than Tiesto to be honest.
-
I'm surprised - nobody on here whinging about it - even though the sound is carrying over into SG - possibly as a result of the weather conditions.

I witnessed the couple with the double bed packing it away into a shopping trolley and wheeling it away at about 10.30pm yesterday evening. They were back by this afternoon as I passed by. Wonder which store's trolley it is?
-
Saw Police there yesterday talking to the newly arrived couple in the double bedroom under the bridge. Others are habitual rough-sleepers, often to be seen - when not begging - unconscious in uncomfortable poses as waves of commuters pass on their…

There is dumped rubbish every week around the corner from me. Domestic waste disposed of in shopping bags, on the pavement). I report it every week and Islington has so far not investigated as far as I can tell. Doubt they'd have to look hard to f…

Royal Mail and Post Office Counters are two very different beats - the former being privatised, and the latter running most of the usually dismal Crown Post Offices with the worst customer service and offering franchises for the usually much better…

The BTP police the railway and Underground (TfL and train operating companies specifically contribute to their running costs to do so). That stretch of SGR is the Met Police's patch, and some traffic offenses are enforced civilly by the London B…

The clarinet player is great! And tends to discourage vagrancy under the bridges.
-
@missingchickenland: You might like to have discrete word with the Safer Neighborhood Team about this. Both are illegal, and begging is more than enough of a pretense for the Police to stop and search.
-
The same places they would get other illicit substances from. The users will be dealing small-time amongst themselves and some particularly exploitative dealer will form the next tier.
-
And add to that vile-smelling butchers' shops that are declining to show their hygiene scores in the widow - often because they got zero or one stars. It's hard to imagine that there's that much demand for rancid meat in FP - there were at one tim…

Intersting piece here about the connection between antisocial behaviour, begging, rough sleeping and the recent Spice zombie epidemic. Refers to Manchester, but we seem to have many of the same causes and visible symptoms locally - particularly th…

I've had both a woman claiming to be a mental health patient looking for help (I assume money) to get back to hospital and somebody claiming to be my neighbour. Both at about 1am.
-
I've had replacement windows from SGR - very happy with the quality of the windows, and the fitter is great. Their business administration on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired - constantly chasing them for quotes, and even the final invoic…

I've seen taxis from the minicab office (so therefore, probably no Uber drivers) do this in the past - but on this occasion, none of the vehicles were taxis.
-
More crazy driving this evening. I'm going to shame registrations here, and include photos. With any luck some action will get taken by the Police. Driver #1 (W819 UGS) failed to pay attention to signs informing him that the road is closed. To …

Today saw more Police action under the bridge. This time with a cleaning team from Haringey in tow to remove the pile of detritus that has gathered over the last month or so. Islington seems to doing better as well - whilst it's still a venue for…

I see the situation is now nearly as bad as it was. Please keep complaining wherever you can.
