Rubbish on the street for a long length of time.

Rubbish has been on the Marmont Road for a long time, and it gets worse when the bin lorry comes, as lots of the rubbish falls off the lorry, and in the winter months, the wind blows lots of rubbish, and it looks awful and makes Marmont Road look so grubby. I was told the streets get cleaned every 6 weeks now, due to cuts. I do appreciate that there are cuts, but Marmont Road seems to get the worst of the rubbish. I feel embarrassed and even worse when I have visitors, and I even cleaned the street myself once, because I was getting viewings. One time, a couple of years ago, there was a shoe in the road for weeks. I did report it to the Southwark Council complaints department. Please, can our street get cleaned more than every 6 weeks?
