Uncollected refuse making areas of Brent resembling a rubbish tip!
Bacteria and viruses left free to infect local people.
Infections [some fatal] are on the increase ...

What a load of rubbish Brent looks like, now and again, and again.
It does seem that part of the £ 2,8 million paid with tax-payers money to a private company [Onyx]is going down the pipe, - or is it going somewhere else?
The expensive contract to clean streets, collect rubbish and grit the roads, was signed by the Council of Brent using the money paid to it in confidence.
Unfortunately the tax-payers had been taken for a ride, yet again.
It already happened last year several time until Christmas...
Early on, the largest local newspaper printed a shameful first page about uncollected refuse making areas of Brent resembling a rubbish tip!
So what did happen around last Bank Holyday in August and September?
Several streets in the South East corner of Brent were left with tons of rubbish spitting out of the Council bins, and millions of nasty bacteria and viruses left free to infect local people.
Not surpring that infections [some fatal] are on the increase.

This is indeed an appalling situation.
I am involved in waste disposal issues, as a campaigner with the Slough Anti-Incinerator Network and affiliated west-london campaign. We oppose the construction of huge, poisonous, climate changing, deadly waste incinerators at Colnbrook near hillingdon. We are now active accross west london (Brent, Harrow, Ealing, Hounslow, Hilingdon) because these boroughs are going to be worst affected by the emmissions from the incinerators and the company need a contract from your waste authority to build the incinerator.
We have learnt a lot about the waste issues over the course of the campaign, and we need to be pushing for safe disposal methods i.e, not landfill, not incinerators and certainly not left in the street like has happened in Brent!!
Instead, we need to reach full recycling and composting level (80% instead of our shameful 10%!!) and use other technologies for the remainder.
If you are at all interested in these issues and in trying to do something about it,
we are holding two upcoming public meetings in west london.
The first is at 7.30pm, Thursday 16th September, at Ealing Friends Meeting House, 17 Woodville Road, Ealing.
The second is at 7.30pm, Thursday 23rd September at Northolt Hall, Northolt Road, Harrow.
Speaker at both will be Dr Jerry Thompson and Margaret Salisidis of Friends of the Earth
as well as representative of our campaign network.
So please come along if at all posible and get involved, otherwise get in touch or see the website at www.sainslough.co.uk.
Cheers,
Stu.
