Five Ways Residents Association

We post a lot about graffiti, litter and other issues affecting residents in Tunbridge Wells town centre, specifically in the vicinity of Fiveways.

This is Leanne Foster, Planning Officer of @TWellsCouncil. On 29/08/23 she encouraged a shopkeeper to flytip waste on a communal pathway in the town centre. A resident was threatened and intimidated by Head of Planning, Carlos Hone to not share the recording of the incident.

@nick_pope @Richard53002567 I have been threatened against saying what I know.

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@nick_pope @Richard53002567 We need a planning system that is free from corruption, where those in charge are not accepting backhanders.

That primarily serves the residents, not businesses and developers.

@PostFromProtest @CoryMacRae @TTankingto38138 @martynw69278154 @AvonandsomerRob @DiddlySquat51 How about he watches on TV or pays for it himself them? He needs to get real if he's going to increase taxes.

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@AvonandsomerRob Politicians and the royals love to use 'security' as an excuse whenever they are questioned about such luxuries.

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@nick_pope @AlAlbrecht269 He should have paid for his own director box or not attended any matches. He can watch the game on TV.

The government is squeezing the middle-class so why doesn't he tighten his belt as well. Accepting £100k worth of free things is complete hypocrisy.

@EE Incredibly rude member of staff at your #TunbridgeWells #EE store, shouting "what do you want me to do, the bin is full?" How about arrange more frequent collections if your bin lid can't shut? Otherwise it attracts flies & vermin & it smells, particularly in the summer heat.

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@Metro_Bank please STOP leaving your rubbish on the pavement. Those bags have been there for a week! You have been told time and time again. This is a residential area in central #TunbridgeWells

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

This drain on Newton Road in #TunbridgeWells is still blocked with mud following @BurgerKingUK roadworks. @TWellsCouncil and @Kent_cc @KentHighways were told over a month ago 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

Weeks later and this drain is still blocked with mud following @BurgerKingUK roadworks.

I also filled a black sack of litter from just one road in the town centre this morning.

@TWellsCouncil appear to have more important things to spend money on, such as painting the bins 🙄

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@Glostermeteor @nick_pope I don't watch TV and I block virtually all advertising so it definitely doesn't work with me 🙂

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@TWellsCouncil @Kent_cc blocked drain on Newton Road, Tunbridge Wells. Possibly from mud run off during the shoddy works installing electricity cable for the new @BurgerKingUK.

*Culverden Street.

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@TWellsCouncil flytipped mattress and graffiti on Culverton Street. It's been there at least a few days, and this is a common dumping area.

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@Betfred it's not bin day and neither is tomorrow, and that's disgraceful. How do you have so much rubbish in one week?🤢🤦🏼‍♂️

That's behind your store in #TunbridgeWells, a residential area. #BetFred #Disgusting

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@BurgerKing

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

Thank you @BurgerKingUK for not even cleaning the street properly after digging the road up for your new #TunbridgeWells outlet. FYI a BK in TW town centre is the WORST type of store that could open here. The 6th Fast Food store here, terrible for the future of of T Wells 😔

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@FatFace @FatFace #TunbridgeWells just a heads up your store manager Kim Withall has still done nothing about it. #KimWithall

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@FatFace #TunbridgeWells a bird pecking at one of your bin bags because your staff can't be bothered to push it down so the lid shuts 😑🤦🏼‍♂️

[Five Ways Residents Association @FivewaysLiving]

@FatFace I am convinced the manager is intentionally not pushing the rubbish down - he is certainly aware. He's also aware that it's a pavement for walking on, not for storing bright red wheelie bins that are also on plane view of residential homes directly opposite.
