After much planning and preparation (and head scratching for technical reasons), I am delighted to say we have *finally* got the outside of Holborn station resurfaced. This was a @CDALDN funded scheme in partnership with @CamdenCouncil. Thank you to them and to @FMConwayltd @TfL!

How can London's (and other cities') high streets be rid of uncollected commercial rubbish: onlondon.co.uk/how-to-rid-lo… @createstreets @CDALDN @RuthDuston @SouthBankBID

Our new report, supported by @CDALDN, @LondonHeritageQ & @SouthBankBID reveals how commercial waste management is failing Britain's high streets & what we can do about it...
Central District Alliance retweeted
What can be done ? We've 9 suggestions. Some can happen now using existing powers:
1⃣Refuse Buyers Clubs: Implement consolidation schemes, as in Bond St
2⃣ ‘Reverse Deliveroo’ for commercial waste collections. Encourage e-cargo bikes
3⃣ Centralised locations to deposit waste
Central District Alliance retweeted
In medium-term;
4⃣Push limits of existing powers. Councils could make better use powers available under Section 47 of Environmental Protection Act 1990
5⃣Make offenders Pay, review maximum penalty & fine levels
6⃣Reduce burden of proof making it easier to take action
Central District Alliance retweeted
Long-term:
6⃣Reduce number of town centre operators through more stringent licensing
7⃣Create new waste definition of ‘ordinary commercial’ permitting small businesses to use municipal collection
8⃣Create system of zoning & municipal carriers as in New York or Singapore.

"Our management of commercial waste is rubbish & it's time to fix it. For too long, we've learned to accept public squalor & filth. But that doesn't mean we don't care." says @Boys_Smith Do YOU want cleaner, more prosperous high streets?

Clear that the London Local Skills Improvement Plan has a vital role to play in bringing businesses, employers and policymakers together but “must never stand still” as the economy changes.
A lot of focus on the need to simplify processes for employers, including with apprenticeship levy reform, and take a long-term, outcomes focused approach to skills funding over the years ahead.
