Disgusting smell

Reported via mobile in the Flytipping - Other (Unidentified) category anonymously at 21:58, Saturday 5 July 2025

Sent to Southwark Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7799064.

There is a constant disgusting smell of waste and rotten food being blown down the Ilderton road. I’ve recently (two weeks ago) purchased a flat here and can’t enjoy spending time on the balcony or opening windows as it reeks. I checked and there are at least two waste reczyling facilties as well as commercial kitchens here which are probably causing the problem. What regulations are they following and how often does the council check their smell pollution contribution? Something needs to be done about that if you want this area to develop into a residential one as it has been promoted.
