The people who collect the bins in Tower Hamlets are on strike. Reportedly not so in Camden, though they might as well be. For three years now, I have rented an apartment in NW6 – formerly of Dusty Springfield fame, now just of dust and dirt.
Mill Lane, where I reside, has been turned into a dumping ground. Besides my downstairs neighbour who treats her front porch like a skip and seems to have hoarded the entire British Museum (perhaps there’s our culprit?), people have taken to dumping all manner of crap on the street as though no one will notice. Indeed, it seems no one does.
