The bank holiday prompted me to pen a furious tirade on the local website, Harringay Online.
I was very cross indeed as I had just spent a beautiful day at Springfield park and Walthamstow Marshes
Here is what I wrote, as well as writing emails to everyone I could think of to complain,
"Taking advantage of the lovely weather to get out with the family, I am appalled at the disgusting state of Green Lanes. There is litter everywhere including broken glass and old nappies and the litter bins are overflowing, not to mention all the commercial waste that is piled up. The surrounding streets aren't much better as there is litter, beer cans and dog mess all over them and the Passage clearly was not cleaned last Friday (which I have already complained about). I am sick of wading through filth with my children and it is time that our streets are cleaned properly. And blaming the Bank Holiday is not good enough, it is only one day and the accumulated filth that is on the streets has been there for days. It seems that Accord have given themselves a nice long weekend to the detriment of the community."
I had my camera in my bag but, tired and with kids, we just made our way home.
Yet, it kept on bothering me. Maybe it was not enough to just report litter, fly tipping and all. Maybe it was time to take action.
