The other attendants included:

  • The Resident Participation officer,
  • Senior Estate Manager,
  • Kambala Estate Manager (from12/02/24)
  • Estate Services officer
  • Officer from the Animals Welfare Department

Two KERA Committee members were also presented and they brought to the attention of the Officers, issues raised by Kambala residents, such as:

  • Dog Mess and CCTV images,
  • Uneven pavements
  • Leaf litter on our estate, especially due to trees in Fairchild Close (near Wye Street) urgently requiring pruning.

The inspection took more than 1 hour and was productive as representatives from the Council promised to progress the issues via officers within the Eastern Area Team (where possible).

Mega Skip Day

On Saturday 30th March 2024, Kambala Residents were invited to dispose of their unwanted household items (up to six) into the mega skip  – for free.

These included:

  • Electrical equipment
  • Household items like mattress and sofas.  
  • One bag of rubbish (counting as one item) and
  • One masonry item (e.g.  a garden slab etc.)

      The event was advertised to all the neighbouring estates as well, to encourage residents within the area to dispose of their excess/useless items in an environmentally friendly manner – without resorting to Fly-tipping.

      There was some initial confusion, within the Kambala Estate, as leaflets were received by residents giving the wrong date for this event. This matter was brought to the notice of the Council and they did their best to rectify the problem – via temporary posters – fixed to lamp-posts around the estate – with the correct date.

      The Mega Skip arrived late but remained on site for longer time.  By the end it was nearly full,  as residents from our and the surrounding estates in Battersea, took advantage of this event.

      However the Fly-tipping problem within our estate still remains.
