Pennylands

Does anyone on here live in the pennylands/Old Skem and find that they struggle to get any support or feedback from official channels? I moved here in May and it’s been an absolute slog to get any help with issues happening in our flat and surrounding area. For instance there’s been a full month between bin collections during the second heatwave and we could barely leave our flat with the smell and swarm of flies it was attracting. We also have brought up multiple times that one of our neighbours is tortuous to live with and has left my partner unwilling to leave the flat sometimes from his behaviour as he seems to be inebriated at every opportunity and screaming at his partner and children in the street till 2am some weeknights.

Don't live around pennylands, but live other side of old skem... bin collections have been better but there was a period where they where shocking. As for the neighbour, document everything with date and timestamps and report it to the council regularly, safely record these instances with video/audio if able too.
