I first reported some rubbish on Mount View Road to Haringey Council on 25 April: “Abandoned estate agent board and other rubbish at foot of yellow brick building – between building and fence at edge of Mount View Road”.

Although it is on Thames Water’s land, Haringey Council can (and says it does) tackle such rubbish, often by issuing a formal order requiring the rubbish to be removed.

Despite the passage of over two months, the rubbish is still there and no order has been issued. As a result of me asking about these delays, Haringey has twice sent someone to inspect the location and they’ve reported back that they can’t find any rubbish.

So, armed with my description above, take a look at this photo and see if you can spot the rubbish yourself:

Yes, well.

UPDATE: On a similar theme, can you spot the leak in this photo?
