Arrangements for recycling in communal blocks, both council and housing association housing and private mansion blocks have not been good in the past, and this autumn will see the rollout of what is hopefully a better service - work that we had been planning over the last 18 months in the last council administration.
In council blocks, residents in all the Swiss Cottage estates will now be getting a brand new recycling kit delivered to their door, which contains everything they need to use the new service. They also get a leaflet which explains how they use the service. The service will start on Nov 1. This includes the following estates: Broadfield, Kingsland, Harben, Hilgrove, Sidney Boyd, St Marys Mews and Acol.
Progress on private mansion blocks and housing association blocks is slower, mainly because of the need to contact and liaise with a wide variety of landlords with different management arrangements in place. Apparently there are 36 blocks to survey in Swiss Cottage, and 10 have been completed so far. The rollout in private mansion blocks is likely to be in Feb/March.
