Charlton Average: 12/01/2008 - 01/01/2009
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. The new bin scheme "is generally seen to be working". I've had an email from Councillor Gary Parker. Replying to my response to his comments. On a blog entry about the costs of the new bin scheme ( 166% more rubbish lorries. It contains a statement that's one of the funniest statements I've heard in 2008, either that or either Councillor Parker or myself is incredibly out of touch with the opinion's of Greenwich residents. Seen to be working by whom? Thank you for giving me ...

Charlton Average: What the Council Do Do....
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-council-do-do.html
Saturday, May 09, 2009. What the Council Do Do. Well the Council can't, or can't be bothered to, keep the streets clean so what do they do? Well as I've said before Jim Wintour is the Director of Neighbourhood Services and is therefore responsible for the mess. However it seems to he's too busy investigating horse based sporting events. To reply to emails. Or do his job. So what of Maureen O'Mara. Who is, as it turns out, is the Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services. It's nice to know that "Greenwich...

Charlton Average: Conservatives in Action (and in avoidance)
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2009/05/conservatives-in-action.html
Sunday, May 10, 2009. Conservatives in Action (and in avoidance). As I posted the other day Councillor Nigel Fletcher. Made a blog posting defending his focus on national rather than local political issues. That happened hot on the heels of me posting an entry about local Conservatives seem to have their eyes on Westminster and not on Greenwich. Well I responded to that in detail here. But I also left a comment on Nigel's block basically taking the same angle. So I checked it out. I'm being really tugged...

Charlton Average: 05/01/2009 - 06/01/2009
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. Well I seem to be doing well this week, having annoyed Councillor Nigel Fletcher. I now seem to have needled Councillor Gary Parker. Well at least I'm an equal opportunity annoyance. Anyway I do give my Councillors a fair amount of stick on this web site so I think that it's only fair that I share his response. It might well be that you agree with him and you think that they are doing a good job, please read and make your own mind up. Officers are working on these issues and the enf...

Charlton Average: Greenwich Council's Response
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2009/05/greenwich-councils-response.html
Saturday, May 09, 2009. Well my street has been cleaned and the rubbish has been taken away, but other than that not one person from either the Council or the ruling Labour party has seen fit to give me any kind of a reply or response to my email. If you have any doubt as to the power of Google then try searching for "Councillor Gary Parker". I'm in there at number 2 right after Greenwich Council's own site. What these people do, or fail to do, will stick around on the internet for years. Ray Collingham,...

Charlton Average: A talk on Gilbert's Pit
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2009/05/talk-on-gilberts-pit.html
Saturday, May 02, 2009. A talk on Gilbert's Pit. I've been meaning to post about Greenwich Industrial History Society for a while now, however life taking a turn to the busy side and the Council still letting my street descend into a rats paradise have side tracked me. However out the blue they've emailed me with an announcement about a talk on Gilbert's Pit. The pit is in Maryon Park and I've blogged about it before. Anyway here's the mail, it also includes some other talks they are doing. This is also ...

Charlton Average: The Council in not doing what it promised shock!
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2009/05/council-in-not-doing-what-it-promised.html
Thursday, May 07, 2009. The Council in not doing what it promised shock! Well there's rubbish out in the street again, this email to the Council just about sums it up. On Wednesday night, the day after our rubbish collection, there were sacks of rubbish out on the pavement along Floyd Road. This evening they are still there. Later he clarified that "the back up service from street cleansing is due to start on Tuesday 5th May.". Did the monitoring occur but perhaps they failed to notice the filth? I have ...

Charlton Average: 03/01/2009 - 04/01/2009
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2009. Our money and then landfill targets sacrificed so the Council can avoid talking to us. Well it's true, someone has taken all the bins away from one side of Floyd Road. The finger of suspicion has got to point at the Council over this. I have called their contact centre to ask and was told that a supervisor would call me back, that was two days ago and I've heard nothing since. My response came quickly and unthinkingly, "this is Greenwich Council, what do you expect? That "black bi...

Charlton Average: Jim Wintour's Cleaned Up!
http://charltonaverage.blogspot.com/2008/09/jim-wintours-cleaned-up.html
Tuesday, September 02, 2008. Jim Wintour's Cleaned Up! Unfortunately I don't mean the streets, instead of sorting out the problems with the "new" rubbish scheme he's been off on a nice trip to Hong Kong, presumably paid for by us. He was sent by the Council to observe the equestrian events in Hong Kong during the Olympics. Quite what horses have to do with the man who's meant to be in charge of keeping our streets clean. How do I know this? Well Councillor Andy Jennings. Councillor Roberts, Leader. Franc...
