Action Update

Resident raised the issue of Auto repair shops spilling out on to the pavement making the streets oily and greasy and not clean.   

Resident also detailed the condition of Pembroke Road and Llanover Rd needing urgent attention around its cleanliness.

Neighbourhood Manager

Residents are advised to contact Parking about cars parking on pavement and PCN’S will be issued where appropriate.

I would advise residents to report street-based issues (including street cleansing, trees, highways, etc) using the following link:

 https://report.brent.gov.uk

 We would advise that when using Fix My Street, residents provide the exact location details of the street cleansing issue, (e.g., outside property x or between roads y and z), rather than reporting the whole street, as this will enable limited resource to be used most effectively.

 Fix My Street reports go directly to Veolia for action (without any delays) and help to build up an evidence base of issues around the borough to enable Brent to intelligently allocate cleansing resources to deal with problems quicker, and more effectively.

When a Fix My Street report is sent on to Veolia, they will assess it to determine whether the location is below an acceptable standard and, if it is, they will allocate a team to clean it.

What we want to avoid however, is a situation where a location doesn’t need cleansing, as minimal litter is present, and scarce resource is then unnecessarily diverted when it can be better used elsewhere.

If a section of a street is deemed to be of an unacceptable standard, a quick and effective response will be forthcoming and a team will visit the location for each report.

There should be no expectation however that the whole street will be cleaned for each and every Fix My Street report.

This will go directly to Veolia for action (without any delays) and will build up an evidence base of issues around the borough to enable Brent to allocate cleansing resources to deal with problems quicker, and more effectively.

The Council operates an enforcement team to detect, investigate and where possible take enforcement action against any 'evidenced' reports of waste crime - including illegal rubbish dumping. We ask that local residents and traders remain vigilant and pass on to us any information or evidence (witnesses acts, CCTV, photos, registration numbers etc.) regarding acts of illegal rubbish dumping. As this evidence can and will be used in court it must be strong enough to enable us a) to be able to identify the offender/s and b) to be able to prove that he/she or they committed an offence.  If you, your family, neighbours, friends, colleagues or other concerned residents are aware of or manage to obtain such evidence please could you ensure you pass it on to waste.enforcement@brent.gov.uk
