Summary

[edit]
Description

Seems to me there's always something new dumped near this crossing in High Road Tottenham, just south of the railway bridge at South Tottenham Station.

New but not always fresh. But on 8 October 2014, works were underway and the pavement was closed on the western side of the road. So there was no room for the regular, huge and smelly pile of rubbish bags which were often there.

I think of these, jokingly, as Mount Kober. Because, when walking past, my thoughts would turn to Cllr Claire Kober, the Dear Leader of Haringey Council. Not only is this area part of Seven Sisters ward - which she represents - but in May 2014 Claire publicly proclaimed her touching belief that: "our streets are now among the cleanest in London". .

On 8 October, the detritus display (garbage gallery?) began with a dumped fridge. As I strolled further along the High Road and in a few of the streets nearby, I saw various items of rubbish arranged on pavements. Now recorded in <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/alanstanton/sets/72157646947586553">a little photo album</a>. ____________________________

§ Nor was it in the same league of leftovers as the dumping spots highlighted by @NoelPark22 - a group of Haringey residents are <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/NoelParkN22/status/524618676566491138?p=p" rel="noreferrer nofollow">"tired of living in a rubbish tip"</a>.
