In response to feedback from our local businesses, we recently took action against street fundraisers in Farringdon 👮♂️ We're working to monitor activity in the area and advocate for greater enforcement to ensure public spaces remain welcoming and safe ➡️ ow.ly/Sytf50VTLfu

After much planning and preparation (and head scratching for technical reasons), I am delighted to say we have *finally* got the outside of Holborn station resurfaced. This was a @CDALDN funded scheme in partnership with @CamdenCouncil. Thank you to them and to @FMConwayltd @TfL!

What can be done ? We've 9 suggestions. Some can happen now using existing powers:
1⃣Refuse Buyers Clubs: Implement consolidation schemes, as in Bond St
2⃣ ‘Reverse Deliveroo’ for commercial waste collections. Encourage e-cargo bikes
3⃣ Centralised locations to deposit waste

In medium-term;
4⃣Push limits of existing powers. Councils could make better use powers available under Section 47 of Environmental Protection Act 1990
5⃣Make offenders Pay, review maximum penalty & fine levels
6⃣Reduce burden of proof making it easier to take action

Long-term:
6⃣Reduce number of town centre operators through more stringent licensing
7⃣Create new waste definition of ‘ordinary commercial’ permitting small businesses to use municipal collection
8⃣Create system of zoning & municipal carriers as in New York or Singapore.
