Co-op and Wickes driveway

The driveway to Wickes and to the Co-op's deliveries area is an atrocious mess. I  have spoken to the Deputy Manager at the Co-op who said he'd speak to the Manager. That was 2 weeks ago. Any ideas about cleaning up this area?

There are always rats.  We just don't always see them.  There are plenty by  the tube tracks.  People just drop takeaway food rather than binning it properly just exacerbate it.I did have a look today and I wondered if the area is ever cleaned there.  I noticed that there are masses of old cable ties there just lying on the ground but the gutters are full of mashed up leaves/cardboard/dirt as well as those. Round the back there seems to be a collection of the Coop's cardboard - some of which may have fallen off the trolley.There is a terrible mess all around the Salvation Army's clothing banks together with stuff that isn't clothing and shoes.  Has anybody using these or walking past them got in touch with them or the Council to report this I wonder?  If we want to continue to have the benefit of these open-all-hours banks we have to be more responsible!

ake a look at night. In fact take a look at a lot of South Ealing at Night, Alive with Rats.With no garden waste and means to dispose of waste at amenities we won't just have one public health issue to deal with when the weather gets warmer.

I haven't seen this/been down there recently but in the past I have been into the Coop to complain about the mess that has been left by the company that puts up the posters on the side of the Coop and just drops the old cable tie pieces? on the ground.  I was told that someone would go and sweep up but was never around to check up.
