Water butts... We have three of the council ones in the rear (was going to do another pun there but it's too early in the morning) garden but would like to have two attached two downpipes from an Apex conversion (downpipes on either side).

Is there anywhere in Walthamstow that sells some nicer looking water butts that attach to drain down pipes? Not keen on the whiskey barrel ones...

Bonus points if I can buy a third one and convert it into a plunge pool 😁

Hi

So many people have been so kind to this young reddit user, various stuff is happening (or not) behind all the public stuff you are seeing.

I'm escalating various things but today there are two important things needed

1. The best platform we can use to get money directly to him (I have the bank details so can set this up but the money needs to be accessed quickly)

2. Do we have an employment solicitor in our community to help Pekdjn with some advice please ?

I am following up with the council again (with consent from Pekdjn) but these two things are requested at the moment please id anyone can help or advise my DMs are open

Thank you so very much

Alex

Please can someone explain how this works, do we need to submit the two documents or is there an app like Ringo we can do it through?

Can I submit screen shot of council tax and screenshot of water bill as we don't have any of the other bits to hand as our house is packed up :(

We don't have a car but need visitors permits later this week and it's telling me I'm not on the system even though we had council visitors permits before.

And yep I'm stupid at this kind of faffy stuff!

Might be a bit of a weird question but would like to know about what happens if you report fly tipping in terms of does the council actually do anything for long-term prevention?

I saw a household fly tipping early this morning - it looked obvious that they were doing a house clearance and I do sympathise as nearing the end of doing the same and very grateful for neighbours, friends and family who have helped out with lending us bins and doing dump and charity shop runs, and do understand not everyone has that network, but the entire pavement is now blocked on a main route.

I know if I report it will be picked up and the council seem to do that quickly however my questions are more how can we get a community skip project going as I'm sure in our area that will be a cheaper option than the council constantly having to come and pick up fly tipping. I know that it Camden this has worked before but it was a few years ago when I was living there.

Was very grateful to the refuse collectors for their help this week taking our extra garden waste (we did a big cut back due to the heat and fire risk) and really pleased to have also learnt this week the council are giving the street cleaning teams a hot weather bonus for each day it's over 28/29.

Just feels there's very little long term solutions being but it place to stop rubbish ending up on our pavements on an almost daily basis, particularly the huge bags of household waste that then get rummaged through by our lovely fox population.

At what point, and have they ever, does the council step in and say this is a bad area for fly tipping and we need another solution? If there's any local WF examples please can you share with me as I'm going to try and get the community skip scheme running where we are.

Don't even know if upholstery is the right word... Any recommendations for someone who can cover an arm chair, play couch, floor cushions, normal cushions, seat pads and the dog bed for us please?

It's a (don't know my cars) but like a similar size to a VW Golf... And has a few of the yellow tickets on it which makes me think maybe it's another dumped stolen car.

The what3worde location is butter.encounter.props

What's the best way to send some homemade ice cream recipe testers to friends across England please?

I am thinking maybe not posting from WF given we are regularly not getting post however just wanted to check if anyone has used a proper cold curiour service from here?

​

I haven't eaten one in years and have just unwrapped one annnnnddddd... It's like a light grey colour which is not how I remembered them at all so I binned it but now I am wondering if this is some new recipe or something.

Also I don't think I've ever eaten a UK Pepperoni as didn't live here until a little while ago so perhaps this is how the UK version has always been?

Does anyone have any suggestions for PTs, Physios Strength classes etc that can help after a tibial Allograft

And any local places to rent a game changer ice machine or does anyone have one I can buy borrow

I have googled and contacted a few places but they don't have the expertise and if I am going to go through three months of feeling like I'm giving birth out of my leg 😭 I kind of would like th aftermath to have some expertise in what they are doing 😃

Cheers
