Is one rubbish collecting day not enough for Seven Kings residence?
Margret Osman certainly does not think so. Margret said... 'in my 32 years of living in this area I have not seen it in this much of a bad state in a very long time.' She was 'disguisted to see wheelie bins with garbage bags falling out and landing on the floor to get broken apart by ferocious birds.'
Fly tipping and overflowing bins can lead to many things such as bad odeors, a dirty enviroment that nobody will want to live in and also rodents such as rats could soon be running around on Redbridges streets; causing chaos.
Gavin Thompon is another resident who feels that the council are not doing enough to keep the enviroment he and his family live in clean.Like Margret he is disguisted at how his area has become and hopes that the issue will be addressed and residents of Seven Kings can walk out of their homes into a clean enviroment, that does not constantly smell of rubbish.
The overflowing bins have lead to many arguments between neighbours. 'It is just ridiculous, the council have to do something about this!' said Gavin Thompson. 'If bin men came more often rather than just once a week we would not have this horrific problem, soon no one will even want to live in this disguisting area,'continued a aggrivated Mr Thompson.
Over the few years the amount of fly tipping, overflowing bins and litter in the streets of Redbridge has increased causing many residents of Seven Kings, Goodmayes and Ilford to move out of the area.
Will the the Redbridge council finally resolve the issue or continue to ignore it?
