| Thanks for your insights on this topic Guy. So, in short, there was an approach that was successful and was abandoned. Cost was not an issue as you say it was nearly paying for itself. I wonder what the official story is? I agree about FMS and HH, in my experience they both work well with clearances happening within 24 hours. An issue with FMS is that is works best if residents use it. On my street (Whitestile Road) I am pretty obsessive about reporting and there are a few others. So, litter and fly tipping is kept to a minimum. Maybe Hayes does not have many civic minded residents. The obvious problem with this is that the system is not sustainable if it relies on a few unpaid individuals. I have mentioned on various occasions to you and others whether it would be feasible to have council and HH employees who visit the street regularly to report issues (parking wardens, street cleaners etc). On the subject of statistics, it occurs to me that if Hayes is not dealing with flytipping effectively, then they may not be recording incidents as well as Hounslow. Without seeing the data definitions and processes involved I suspect cross borough comparisons may not be reliable. I wonder if what is going on is the well known effect of targets distorting services provision. Your example of fining people for trivial offences would back this up. (I remember cases like this in my time in the NHS e.g. reducing trolley waits by taking off the wheels and classifying them as beds) This is all so tiresome, we've all got better things to do. |
