The streets of Lambeth have become increasingly unhealthy due to infrequent rubbish collection. Overflowing bins, maggots, and the stench of decaying waste have transformed our community spaces into eyesores, posing serious health risks to residents.

Rubbish collection was once a routine weekly service that kept our neighborhoods clean and safe. However, since the frequency was reduced, our streets have become littered with waste. This is not just an aesthetic issue but a public health concern. Rotting food scraps and other waste attract pests such as rats and insects, which can spread diseases. Moreover, the foul odour emanating from uncollected garbage is unbearable, affecting our quality of life.

The consequences of less frequent rubbish collection are clear, verifiable, and deeply troubling. According to a report by the Local Government Association, councils that reduced collection frequency experienced a notable increase in pest complaints and public dissatisfaction. Lambeth's residents deserve better. We pay for services that ensure our environment is clean and safe. A return to weekly rubbish collections is not just desirable but necessary.

We urge the Lambeth Council to prioritize public health and cleanliness by reinstating weekly rubbish collections. This actionable change will drastically improve the living conditions in our community, making our shared spaces more pleasant and hygienic.
