There are a number of misguided individuals, resident both in Longhurst and Leahurst Road SE13, who seem to think the area outside No 84 and the front garden of No 82 Leahurst Road is the local rubbish tip.

Not only do these people creep down under cover of darkness, they are audacious enough to bring their unwanted items and old building materials during the daylight hours. Some have been known to leave it in their own front gardens before dumping it there so most people know which house it has come from.

The individuals who leave rubbish there or anywhere else are selfish, mindless and irresponsible morons who obviously take great care to keep their own space neat and tidy but do not give a toss about the quality of life and the environment of those whose space and lives are invaded by their thoughtlessness.

Furthermore, is it fair someone else has to give time and effort to get it removed. simply because they are either too lazy to take it to the dump or too mean to pay for its removal?
