I assume #StormDennis created #havoc for this #family in #maidavale, who then decided not to #travel ever again and #dumped all their #luggage for good. #flytipping continues in #w9. #keepmaidavaleclean #london #mylondon #mywestminster

[Jason Williams @JasonPimlico]

Just saw someone flytipping and asked him to put it in the bins. “I suppose it does look unsightly” was the understated reply. We need far better signs though there’s no excuse for sheer thoughtlessness.

@KarenPBuckMP @SusieD_LON @CityWestminster @w9maidavale @WNCons @MacfarlaneJamie Thank you for your reply - it is great to have a responsive MP who understands our local issues

[Rob Cope @robofw9]

@GlennG1964 @KarenPBuckMP @SusieD_LON @CityWestminster @w9maidavale @WNCons @MacfarlaneJamie It will be removed efficiently but without any attempt to understand why it was there. Unfortunately that's how Westminster works.

[Susie D @SusieD_LON]

@robofw9 @GlennG1964 @KarenPBuckMP @CityWestminster @w9maidavale @WNCons @MacfarlaneJamie Yes. And will go straight to the tip regardless of whether it might have had re-use value if dealt with differently :-(

[Rob Cope @robofw9]

@SusieD_LON @GlennG1964 @KarenPBuckMP @CityWestminster @w9maidavale @WNCons @MacfarlaneJamie Depends on contract & contractor. To be fair, it's very hard making a living from recycling. Too labour-intensive.

@w9maidavale @robofw9 @SusieD_LON @GlennG1964 @KarenPBuckMP @CityWestminster @WNCons @MacfarlaneJamie Ha so that kills the theory abt the extra removal costs for flytipping collections @MGassanly

[Glenn (Double G) @GlennG1964]

@MaidaValeNews @w9maidavale @robofw9 @SusieD_LON @KarenPBuckMP @CityWestminster @WNCons @MacfarlaneJamie @MGassanly Here’s today’s offerings!

[Karen Buck @KarenPBuckQP]

@GlennG1964 @MaidaValeNews @w9maidavale @robofw9 @SusieD_LON @CityWestminster @WNCons @MacfarlaneJamie @MGassanly @PDimoldenberg Obvious that at least some of this is a result of private rental clearances and @CityWestminster needs a better strategy for that, too.

[Karen Buck @KarenPBuckQP]

@GlennG1964 @MaidaValeNews @w9maidavale @robofw9 @SusieD_LON @CityWestminster @WNCons @MacfarlaneJamie @MGassanly Both Walterton Road sites are plagued by dumping, I agree. @CityWestminster found solution for Shirland/Ashmore site after pressure from @PDimoldenberg and myself- we need to see if something similar might work here.

#mattress #flytipping in #maidavale #never takes a #break. I wonder, did someone have #insomnia last #night and thought ‘hey what is better than getting up, head outside and #dump #stuff out while others are asleep?’ #keepmaidavaleclean

[MaidaValeMuse @MaidaValeNews]

Thank You Cllr

I recall in theory a good plan
Still same Question what will you do for MaidaVale

Point 2 has happened a better ReportIt app @CityWestminster

Point 1 CCTV is still my question as is Point 6 (better signage)

Political point scoring doesnt help Locals

[MaidaValeMuse @MaidaValeNews]

@w9maidavale @turnerhmt @iamritabegum @NafsikaT @visitlondon @CityWestminster How about some joint Ward funds,make a one off demand to @CityWestminster & apply for other funds from say @w9w2 , poss even crowdfund? (as you did for Trustcott Arm Pub)
No doubt @CityWestminster (who always removes) now aware extra costs of regular removal frm same Hotspot

[Heather @turnerhmt]

@MaidaValeNews @iamritabegum @w9maidavale @NafsikaT @visitlondon Completely agree with you, it's out of control in W9 and something needs to be done. Heavily soiled mattress dumped at #WarwickAvenue station recently. Dirty, inconsiderate people are turning #MaidaVale into a dump.

[MaidaValeMuse @MaidaValeNews]

@robofw9 @iamritabegum @w9maidavale @NafsikaT @visitlondon @CityWestminster That's exactly why Rob I tweeted in the first place

[Rob Cope @robofw9]

@MaidaValeNews @iamritabegum @w9maidavale @NafsikaT @visitlondon @CityWestminster Westminster s contractors will carefully remove the item but will take no interest in any evidence as its not what they're paid for. Any investigation team will likely get a report well after item's gone to the dump. So it goes...

[MaidaValeMuse @MaidaValeNews]

@robofw9 @iamritabegum @w9maidavale @NafsikaT @visitlondon @CityWestminster Rob @CityWestminster are excellent, & ultimately always take away (if the havent already) ,thats actually part of the problem not the answer. Peeps know no consequences to their actions
Like a notice on that wall, .& CCTV around #MaidaVale tube area part funded Ward Budget etc.

[Rob Cope @robofw9]

@MaidaValeNews @iamritabegum @w9maidavale @NafsikaT @visitlondon @CityWestminster might actually take it away (but unlikely to investigate whodunnit).
