One of the parts covered by my Environment brief is rat infestation. This appears to be getting worse partly as a result of people casually leaving food waste about (including "side waste" by bins) as well as hot weather. I recently visited a site off Edgeware Road that really was (almost literally) nauseating.
The side waste issue is likely to up as part of the new administration's review of waste management. I am sure that if people realised the consequences they would be far less likely to be so casual about food waste.

Talking about rats, did you see that Barnet's Tory Cabinet members voted last night to DOUBLE their allowances. The Council Leader's allowance went up less - by only about £20,000!
