Lack of refuse collection.  Again. 

It's getting mighty boring and so predictable.  Things have been heading South for some time with Ealing Council and its commitment to keep its taxpayers happy and keep our streets clean.Today our street and the surrounding streets were not attended to by the refuse collectors.  No doubt it'll look like a third world country by the morning, with the foxes and rats.  I called the number I was given, but the number isn't in service, it seems.  I can feel a Filthy Acton thread coming on again anytime soon.

Our side streets are so littered with glass from careless recycling people today, I am cycling on the pavement for the foreseeable future... The street cleaners who are supposed to come in after the refuse collection apparently can't get the small bits that kill your tires off the roads. Try and fine me!

The street cleaners down come late in the day after the bin collection, so we have streets covered in food waste and wrappers for 2 days out of a 7 day week. It's absolutely disgusting.

Read this e-mail from LBE if you want a laugh (or a cry)Dear Mr Millman, Your ref: 292952/110729                                                                  Thank you for contacting us regarding the recycling services. I am writing to you in regards to your complaint dated Monday 8 September. Brouncker Road is cleansed like all the other roads in the Ealing borough; this will be on a 4 week rotation. The contractors will deep cleanse all the roads once every four weeks, this deep cleanse process consists of the removal of all glass, fly tips, dog fouling etc. The operatives will also thoroughly sweep the road and if there are any weeds present they will be sprayed with weed treatment, the weeds will then be removed 4 weeks later during your next deep cleanse. This allows sufficient time for the treatment to destroy all weeds before removal. The following three weeks Brouncker Road  will receive a standard cleanse which is the same process as the deep cleanse but the road will not be swept or the weeds will not be removed or treated. The cleansing process will take place weekly on a Wednesday and the next deep cleanse is due Wednesday 24 September.

Fantasy.  Pure fantasy.

Strangely, our road, St Dustans avenue railway side was perfectly cleaned and cleared but I noticed none of the black bags  on the road opposite, Friars Way, were cleared.
