The issuing of a section 114 notice is thankfully a very rare event. The issuing of multiple section 114 notices one after another is essentially unprecedented. The position Croydon Council is in today can justifiably be described as the worst ever to reach this stage.

Dear Cllr. Ali

An Open Letter

Sunken Road now cleared

Checked Sunken Road again today and it has now been cleared. There is a new lock on the gate as well so hopefully it will remain clear. We will keep monitoring the area and please do let us know of any more incidents.

Half of Sunken Road fly-tip removed

I visited Sunken Road this evening and around half of the huge fly-tip has been removed. Will keep pushing to see the remainder taken away as well.

Fly Tipping on Sunken Road still there!

The huge fly-tipping on Sunken Road is still there. I reported this on the 30th October and again on the 3rd November. The council says it aims to remove within 2 working days but clearly this has not happened.

Surgery Session

I will be outside Shirley Library today as usual for a surgery session from 10am to 11am. I have mask and hand sanitiser. Happy to discuss any issues you have in a safe, socially distanced manner.

More fly-tipping on Sunken Road

There has been even more fly-tipping on Sunken Road. We have reported this to the council and are pressing for better barriers for this fly-tip hotspot.
