• I RECEIVED a letter from Veolia, who now provide Camden’s rubbish collection service, asking if I still need help to put out my recycling/rubbish, and responded by saying that I have seen absolutely no evidence of any such help!

In fact the very opposite: much of the time they do not even return our bins (and those of most of our neighbours) to where they were placed by us.

Since the new Veolia “service” started, we have been forced to place our bins in our front garden, a metre from the edge of our property, and about the same distance from our yard where our bins have been emptied and returned for over 100 years (not that I am that old, but the house is).

So I call on councillors to deal with this issue by creating a new contract with a new supplier, or at least make Veolia do a proper job. We want a service which collects bins from the storage area at the side of our house, perhaps 4 metres from the pavement, and returned there when emptied.
