Mattresses, chairs and a cabinet dumped
Reported in the Flytipping category by Nick Roberts at 19:02, Wed 13 December 2017
Sent to Harrow Borough Council 2 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1161084.
These items suddenly appeared overnight in a residents car-park. They have been there a month. Usually, items discarded by the estate's flat dwellers that have been left out and booked for collection are collected promptly. So, it would appear that its fly-tipping. These dumped items prevent residents from using the car park (Which exists in a Parking Control Zone) and attract vermin (There's already a local problem).

All the mattresses and assorted rubbish have now been removed . . . joy unrestricted. I think having it lying there since November 2017 is too long. Harrow Council charges £10 per mattress to legally dispose of such items . . . if you can be arsed to phone them up.
I would have thought even buy-to-let landlords of flats who are letting out to Social Security claiming tenants and receiving upwards of £600 a month in rent from the State/Taxpayer could afford one £10 charge a year for mattress disposal each time the tenant changes (Can be yearly with shorthold tenancies ). Perhaps the Residents' Association could do something useful and negotiate a group buy for this service at a discount on the usual one-off rate, given that we are usually visited with this problem, once to twice a year - may be it could be paid for from savings obtained by re-negotiating the fixed maintenance contract with the managing agents/site contractor who, as far as I can see, just come in a couple of times a year and blow the leaves around the car park.
There again, it may be all too difficult , pains in various fannies may develop and we may all have to take a pink pill and lie down in a darkened room.
