General Household Rubbish:
General
rubbish should not be left on stairwells at any time - please bring
your non-recyclable rubbish directly to the estate bins (near the St.
John's Street road access beside Tunbridge House).
Recyclable Rubbish:
Although the collection of recyclable
household waste was “hit and miss” to begin with, we are
very pleased to see so many Spa Green residents valuing our environment
and using the facility. Unfortunately there are a few practical issues
that have arisen as a result. Firstly, many residents have taken to
leaving their recycling bags in communal areas including stairwells
on a semi permanent basis. This presents problems by being both fire
and trip hazards – please do not leave your recyclables in the
communal areas except at the scheduled collection times. Report
missed recycling collections by calling Contact Islington on
020 7527 2000.
Personal
items (bicycles etc) left on stairwells:
Please do not leave rubbish bags outside your street
door as this is an obstruction to others trying to walk down the stairs,
encourages vermin into the blocks and creates a fire hazard.
Please do not chain bicycles to the handrails on the stairwells ass
once again they are an obstruction to other residents and block the
stairwells in the event of a fire. Any bikes found to be chained on
the stairwells will be removed instantly by staff. Should you experience
a problem of partial blockage of the stairs or landings please contact
the TMO office.
Bogus Callers:
Recently we have had bogus callers visiting our estate.
We urge you to ask for identification from anyone who wants access to
your property. Should you still not feel comfortable with the caller
ring the TMO office on 020 7833 2377 or one of the TMO emergency numbers
and ask for someone to come along and check out the caller for you.
Do not presume they are who they say they are.
