Idling engines.
I live next to Heathrow Airport - I have asthma which gets worse when out walking past the many cabbies parked up in the area running their engines. Although there is enforcement it is not consistent. They have their own parking area but many do not use it, polluting the local area. Twice weekly rubbish collections and more fines as we have so much fly tipping and would like to see enforcement of litter fines. Planting of more trees but ensure they are actually looked after. Change bus stops with better seating and simply turn the bus stops around to protect waiting people from puddles. Extra maintenance in the local park ensuring the lazy pick up after their dogs - we are plagued with irresponsible lazy dog walkers who also let their dogs run wild harassing people especially children. The council do actually do a lot but it’s up against many peoples laziness. Enforced speed limits would mean many wouldn’t be scared to cycle as the level of harassment is dangerous from cars and many coaches and lorries which speed around the 20mph zone. More cameras please.

Show full commentIn my area, throughout lockdown, we have had vans parking all over the place with their engines running, as if this no longer matters. In my borough there is in effect no policing of this, no consequences when someone photographs the offender's license plate and sends it to the council. This is sending the complaint into a black hole - no feedback, nothing.
Show less of commentDog walkers being irresponsible, children scared to go in the park because of dogs running loose - and apparently the local park are not allowed to make it mandatory for dogs to be on a lead. We need more parks and fewer dogs.
