The area has turned into a dump.. literally, people just dump rubbish everywhere. Labour accused the Conservatives of demonising the Romanian community and said it was simply because they were unaware of how to sort rubbish. Of course, once Labour got hold of the Council the problem got ten times worse. It's an embarrassment to live here now, which is a shame as this used to be a clean and quiet area. Now we have people living in garages, sheds, 20 to a house and even in their vans. Not to mention the number of drinkers at all hours, also evident by the way they just chuck their beer cans/bottles in street, if not in peoples gardens. There is a huge cultural divide here in terms of disposing of rubbish and due to the volume of people, this has become a major problem. However Harrow Council insists that we still have to celebrate this cultural diversity.

The council doesn't even respond to complaints, which is the main problem. People are reporting Illegal Multiple Occupancy (which is the main reason behind the bags of household waste on our streets) and telling the council who the fly-tippers are via their inadequate website but the Council doesn't even have the courtesy to reply.

And don't for one moment think this problem is going to get any better, the council seem to take delight in approving the building of high rise flats on every bit of land available. Welcome to the new face of Harrow.
