  • Skip continues to fail to meet the conditions of permit specifically 139(4), it is unsafe and a danger to road users. To make matters worse they are now also blocking a public footpath and making it completely inaccessible, see photo attached. This has been the case for more than a week now, I hope to see Bexley Council action this urgently as this a public safety issue.
