“However, finding some community spirit and reporting an overflowing litter bin with a few clicks on their smartphones and helping to improve their neighbourhood can be very satisfying and they have the opportunity whilst travelling to do so.” It’s the same syndrome as ‘energy begets energy’. If you are in a beautifully maintained garden or street you would respect it and try to keep it that way. If you are in the dump that Hounslow Borough has become where the Leaders are not interested in cleaning it up or listening to taxpayers, people will have no respect for the environment. The rot has set in. Someone finds a place to fly-tip and within a week more people are adding to it. I usually wait a week until I report fly-tipping jut to see if anyone else will report it. They usually don’t and it is incredible that once reported it is cleared within hours but people just don’t care. The road in Osterley (where the Conservative Club is located) has had fly-tipped household waste in broken bags for about a month and the pile gets bigger. I know that if I report it, it will be cleared within hours but I have waited to see if just one of the thousands who must pass it every day could be bothered to report it. I don’t live anywhere near it but I pass by. Nobody who lives there seems to care! Earlier this year there were two abandoned cars, parked very dangerously and partly obstructing traffic. I watched as everyone swerved past. After two weeks I reported them and the Council removed them within a couple of days. It took me all of 5 minutes to stop my car, take some photos and report the issue. I just couldn’t believe that not a single other person (there must be hundreds living in that street and in the nearby Closes) could be bothered to report it. |
