Описание: Sorry to be extremely boring about rubbish dumped in Moorefield Road N17. There's nothing interesting or new about the photo I'm posting from 7.30 pm 9 February 2019. So stunningly tedious is this quick snap that maybe I should pretend that rubbish I've reported dumped in this spot many dozens - hundreds? - of times over the past ten years is all fascinatingly different? Maybe I can mention that some piles have been arranged super-neatly against the cream-coloured wall. Though other garbage is spread intriguingly around a nearby street sign. There are day shots; and photos in rain; and in bright sunlight. Some - like this evening's offering in darkness - include an armchair. Quite often there's a mattress. Or two. Or three. Perhaps with a free duvet thrown-in. Once I asked a passer-by to stand near the waste pile. Pointing at the trash, as though it was mysteriously difficult to spot. From time to time, I've been glad to send Haringey a report of a single black rubbish bag. Kidding myself that this was not a starter for ten. In an effort to be fair and balanced I've also taken photos in celebration when strolling along this and nearby roads and finding no rubbish at all. But here's a strange thing. For years I've walked past this spot for different reasons. Perhaps on my way to Bruce Grove station; or the GPO Sorting Office. Or to Bruce Grove Primary School - where I was once a volunteer school governor. But never once do I remember getting a reply email telling me that Haringey Council had discovered who dumped stuff here. Or perhaps discovered that some residents were leaving their rubbish because their landlords didn't provide waste storage space. Although dumping - at least several times a week is my guess - was as predictable as leaves falling in Autumn. What's needed before Haringey Council bosses - including the so-called cabinet - take this and other examples of the dumping epidemic with any apparent seriousness? Seriously enough to find extra cash for staff & other resources for enforcement? And possibly to seek external funding for university research?
