Has anyone seen a street cleaner in EN2 for the past three weeks? I am constantly picking up bits of litter from outside my house and in the local streets. I need the help of the street cleaners, who seem to have vanished recently (unlike the litter itself which is accumulating rapidly).

There are items of litter that I am now on familiar terms with as they have remained there for the past three weeks as if stuck to the pavement, only to be joined by more recent additions.

I feel utterly despondent when I walk or drive down Phipps Hatch Lane, as the litter that is gathering on the verges and at the base of the bushes is an eyesore. The Enfield Borough Council website promises that every street will be cleaned ‘at least once a week’, but this is clearly not the case.
