Andrew and Redding reported on work to improve rubbish matter in front of 1a to 4 DH.
Contact made with owner of alleyway downhill from Keats Practice (who is not the owner of building with offending practices) which may be able to house bins
Contact made with freeholder of the building housing Airbnb’s which might be the offender
PO contacted the Airbnb manager to request assistance
Fire risk assessment completed to confirm alleyway could work to store bins
Request in to freeholder of building to get names of long leaseholders
Everyman (commercial tenant) has changed times it puts out rubbish so foxes no longer have nighttime access
TB suggested a possible enclosure on pavement in front of building. That will be included in the list of options
Agreed by all that we provide freeholder of the building a suggested storage design in alleyway and a short period to fix matters
LP noted increased rubbish issues at DH end near Heath as well as stolen wheelies bins
DHRA to liaise with Cllr Stephen Stark
Traffic issues
PO and MD have had good conversation with Camden Traffic department
Camden presently working under Nov 2022 budget that lasts for two years
There is provision for safety studies but no infrastructure changes in the present budget
Conversations have been had with other neighborhood groups in the East Heath- Downshire Hill – Rosslyn hill Triangle so that a solution does not just move problems around. This is good collaborative progress
AN advised HNF new air quality survey has shown hot spots in SEG and East End Road , with pollutants well above legal maxima. PO informed others of a Community Speed Watch Group. There is concern that any anecdotal reporting by such a group will undermine the proper data collection needed by Camden
MD noted that now is the time to continue developing draft fixes that could be implemented in the next 2-year budget

Security

Anecdotal info indicates that car theft and burglary are on the increase locally
