A Tooting resident has shared his frustrations after seeing a large mess on his morning commute to his daughter's nursery for the second day in a row.

Matt Dorkings spoke to Nub News yesterday (June 28), describing the overflown rubbish around the entrance to Bevill Allen Close as "disheartening" to see while walking with his young daughter.

Today (June 29), he pictured yet more rubbish in the exact same spot.

The 36-year-old hopes that it can be sorted in the near future to set a better example for his daughter.

"Yesterday when I went to pick up my daughter, the area was cleaned. Someone had cleaned it up and again it was a mess today," he said.

"My daughter is getting to the age where she is starting to ask what things are and I have to explain that it's just messy people everywhere.

"I try and lead by example by picking up litter.

"People naturally behave in the same way as the environment they are in. If everyone else is littering who cares? If you live in an area in more proud surroundings people are likely to replicate that behaviour."

Yesterday (June 28) Matt didn't know who had contributed to the rubbish, however, today he thinks found the culprits.

He said: "I had a look at the rubbish and I recognised it as building work. It was offcuts, cement, bits of wood.

"I tried to look see if there were any addresses but I couldn't see any.

"I think it could be local building work who didn't want to pay for a skip.

"In a sense, it's satisfying it's not just people leaving their bins overflown.

"Installing CCTV could remedy the situation."

Nub News spoke to Wandsworth Council about the situation, who confirmed that it has been arranged for the area to be cleaned up.

A spokesman for the council said: "We have arranged for this flytip to be cleared and will be seeing if there is any evidence contained within it that identifies who has dumped it."

What the punishment is for flytipping?

The council will fine or prosecute people who dump rubbish in the street and our enforcement officers now have the power to issue £400 fixed penalty notices on-the-spot for fly-tipping.

The maximum penalty for fly-tipping is £50,000 fine and/or 12 months in prison.

Vehicles used for fly-tipping can be seized and destroyed, and convicted offenders may be required to do community service.
