Dear Jahnelle,

This should be treated as an emergency, not a frustration. I hope that you have perused the
photos that I have sent. It is against the government's code of conduct for cleaning to take
such a long time - for that there must be a substantial reason for failing to fulfil the
conditions.
The streets should not become this dirty in the first place. But if they do, the council has the
obligation to clean them by at latest 6pm the next day. Given that there is a primary school
here, I imagine that actually the correct time is 8am the next day, although I am no expert.
In situations such as these, I am entitled to seek a litter abatement notice against the
council from the Magistrate's Court. The council should take serious action against Veolia
for this - it is not Veolia that shoulders the blame, but the council.

I understand that you are no expert in litter either, but please get the streets cleaned today.

Best regards,
Owen Ward

Dear Owen,

Apologies for missing your calls. I understand your frustration and I am chasing officers on
this.

I will get back to you by the end of the day.

Dear All,

I just went on my evening walk - I have attached the photos. Still, the litter is not cleared.

I wonder if you are aware about the Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_
data/file/221087/pb11577b-cop-litter.pdf

It states that after littering is reported in an area such as this, the litter should be cleared
within a day. However it has not been cleared. I have been extremely persistent about this,
but nothing has happened. The advice is to seek a litter abatement notice from the
Magistrates Court.

Please get someone to clean up these streets now.

Best regards,
Owen Ward
