Mopping up after them
Published: 19 August, 2010
• I UNDERSTAND that Veolia took over cleaning the external public areas to give caretakers more time to concentrate on the internal public areas.
The caretaker assigned to our small block only mops inside the intercom door and up the first flight of stairs but does not mop or sweep down the rest of the flights of stairs. He seems to use dirty cold water for the area he does mop.
I appreciate that the caretakers have other duties to undertake but the tenants are paying for a service that is not being done.
In fact, the stairs look so dirty and unsightly most of the time that I have taken it upon myself to both sweep and mop down the remaining flights of stairs to try to keep it looking presentable.
I do this every week.
Maybe it’s time Camden Council gave the job to someone who wants to do the job rather than someone who can’t be bothered.
