Blots on the Heath
Get involved in cleaning up North Heath Community areas.
As soon as I can I will insert here photo's of places and parts of The Heath that are untidy, unsightly and never cleaned or cleared away.. I hope to make this a regular monthly event. Hopefully by then highlighting to encourage the Local Bexley Council Services, the people, residents and maybe local associations or clubs. I think the areas are and have been deteriorating slowly. Maybe a awakened new sense of a local pride is needed to be encouraged by all. Any comments can be entered in my Forum page. Also any photo's or pic's of any eyesores, rubbish in hidden places, or alleys too, All can be e-mailed or sent to me.
New Bexley Councils comments and complaints process
Feedback processes at London Borough of Bexley have been
overhauled to encourage a speedier resolution of complaints
It's hoped the new procedures will encourage service managers to resolve complaints quickly. If they are unable to, senior managers will step in to resolve concerns.
If complaints are not resolved at this level, the complaint will be heard by one of the Council's Directors or the Chief Executive. At any stage of the process, people with concerns can contact a Councillor.You can find your local Councillor through the website
www.bexley.gov.uk/councillors
If you do not have access to the internet at home or work, public access computers are available in and at all of the borough's libraries.These changes do not affect the areas of the Council where statutory complaints processes need to be followed, such as social care, schools, planning and parking.
Two Alley Gates have been erected at upper end of Hurst Road. Great idea and improvement.
Recently the Polish Food shop have had all the rubbish removed from rear of their premises rear of garage in the alleyway. Well Done.
I noticed today May 7th that the garden and rubbish from the flat above of Polish Sesam Shop has all now been cleared out, tidied and neatly dug over. Well Done, At least one of the shop owners is trying to join us all in our efforts.
Laundrama owner is seeking or hoping to have his old wood garage at rear, all removed, and a new fence erected, and other tidying up done. Good luck. Maybe pride is returning to the area.
PJ Plastics Company have recently now laid at the rear of their premises in the access alleyway a solid hard concrete area. Well Done.
May 20th I see more dumping of rubbish rear of the MIND Charity shop. Old wooden fencing from someone or persons unknown?. More new black pvc bags of old house rubbish again put out and then not collected? Maybe due to the new concrete laying having prevented the council to do or people in flat tenants or shops put out again. No wheelie bins available for flats?
October 2nd
More rubbish at rear of the closed premises of the old Victoria Wine Shop. Fence kicked in. The litter still remains at rear of Pizza shop, Barclays old post still remains. Rear of Corals still accumalating rubbish and other waste. The Builder who has the flat above.

More litter and deposited building materials and old carpets littering rear approach from Hurst Road to that of Sense premises gates. This area was cleared twice before by Bexley Community Payback Team. A continued area of nuisance and eyesore and hygene still.
More rubbish litter rear of MIND Charity Shop and Laudarama premises. Have been there for last 5 months. Assorted litter,rubbish and rubber tyres still in alley, some blown by weather and spread by various vehicles using the alley.
Areas I know of that are presently left still unsightly.
Birch Walk leading down to the Pom Pom.
Behind fences accumulated rubbish, old estate sale signs, rubber tyres, electrical house items. This area of spoiled woodland has much varied animals, creatures, birds haunts. It is a lovely walk but unsightly to both residents and tourists visitors too now. See suggestion in My Forum page.
