#ThamesWater How many reports and emails are needed before a major leak is fixed? Will they repair the damage caused? This is a story repeated across London and is far too frequent. Is Thames Water holding our streets hostage against the threat of nationalisation or is it just negligence?

Cllr Becky Sanders@beckysanders· 12d

#ThamesWater have left a major leak in Telegraph Hill for over a week in the middle of a drought (and hosepipe ban imposed by them) to the point it has created pot holes in the road. Buses have been diverted to avoid it leaving the entire area without public transport! We deserve and demand better

Loved running around the adventure playground after our surgery at The Somerville! Very jealous of all the children who will be able to enjoy this over the summer holidays and beyond! Big shout out to all the volunteers and staff who keep this place looking and being amazing!

Posing with fly-tipping in Telegraph hill. Hopefully one day there will be none left!

Cllr Becky Sanders@beckysanders· Oct 13

The most common type of fly-tipping we see are fridges. Lewisham Council's bulky item service will collect them for £60! The council provides no financial help and does not offer assisted collections! I asked a question to the council about their service's affordability and accessibility. (see pics)

Collection fees
mattresses (any size): £14 each
up to four household items (such as carpet, chairs, beds or sofas): £41
fridges or freezers: £60 (we can't collect American-style or double door fridges or freezers)
Please note
the collection fee is non-refundable, so you'll still be charged even if you cancel the booking before your items are collected – this is to cover the administrative and operational costs involved in arranging a collection
we do not collect items from inside properties and can't help carry them outside

The bulky item collection service is expensive without a guarantee that the item will be collected due to confusing instructions about the item cannot be within a property and not on the pavement, which doesn't leave anywhere for it to go, how are you making this service cheaper and less confusing, especially for those on lower incomes and those with disabilities for example?

Reply

Items for collection should be placed within the property boundary, but not indoors. Suitable locations include a front garden, driveway, or other easily accessible space. It’s important that items are clearly visible and reachable by the collection crew on the scheduled day to ensure successful pickup.

The Council recognises concerns around affordability - particularly for residents on lower incomes or with disabilities - and is actively reviewing the service to make it more accessible, affordable, and user-friendly. This includes providing clearer instructions and exploring potential support options for vulnerable residents.

As part of its ongoing service review, the Council is currently assessing the overall cost and feasibility of introducing assisted collections for residents"
