Stop the Neglect: Daily Trash Collection for Kilburn Grange

Every morning, this small patch of green holds our community together — dog walkers, families, runners, children, elders, friends. It's where we breathe. Where we belong.

But every summer, the same thing happens:

🗑️ Bins overflow and aren't collected regularly 🦊 Foxes and crows scatter rubbish across the park overnight 👶 Children play next to waste on their way to school 😤 We're told to "report it on an app" that doesn't even recognise our park as a location

Meanwhile, Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill get larger bins, more frequent collections, and better infrastructure — even though most of their users are tourists, not local residents.

✅ Daily afternoon rubbish collections — so waste doesn't sit overnight
✅ Larger, animal-proof bins — like the ones in Hampstead and Primrose Hill
✅ Transparency — how much is Veolia being paid, and where is that money going?
✅ Fair treatment — our park attendant cannot manage 2 acres alone with substandard facilities
✅ A proper reporting system — not a broken app that shifts responsibility onto residents

It's about whether our community is valued the same as wealthier neighbourhoods. It's about a park that has served this community for over 100 years — and deserves to be treated with respect.
