Bins are in public areas and overused. Because the Council and Moat both take away waste and tidy it up often several times a week, and because there is little or no active awareness of how to sort and reduce waste, the pathways are frequently strewn with unhygienic waste that spills from the bins. This includes used nappies and food. Both waste-sorting bins and a campaign about how to reduce waste to the ERF and re-use and re-cycle are needed. Plus perhaps incentives. One is no good without the other. So currently the collection of waste is using a lot of public money which could be better spent. High turnover in private-rented and so-called 'supported housing' accommodation where tenants are frequently not supported makes for high levels of household and bulky waste. Although it is a Moat estate it is not exclusively a Moat problem becuase of the high number of private rented units on the estate. And as we know, dumped waste attracts more dumped waste.

If anything, over the past 10 years, it has got progressively worse! As it currently exists, Mitcham is the type of place you want to pass through as quickly as possible in order to get out of it.
Even after a ""supposed"" facelift to the town Square, which no doubt cost thousands of pounds to the taxpayer, Mitcham town centre remains as bleak as ever.
Shops are dated and inadequate. As mentioned in other posts, plenty of betting shops, dodgy takeaways, charity shops which always seem to be empty, pound shops and dodgy local boozers.
There doesn't seem to be any incentive to attract better preferably indeed businesses or create a more family friendly centre.
Traffic around the square is terrible and it seems to be a hang out for local down and outs and other anti-social elements.
Prior to the face-lift, the Square itself was quite attractive, with some character and wild flowers growing naturally.

The more affluent parts of Merton, are better maintained and seem to have better infrastructure than the less affluent areas.
The residential roads in Mitcham, especially those within a mile or two radius of the town centre, are in poor condition. Pot holes, insufficient parking and dirty - it seems more rubbish is dumped on the streets on collection days than is actually collected.
Local public pathways, street corners and even small local children's parks have become dumping grounds for fly-tippers and places for other anti social behaviour including but not limited to drunken brawls and dealings in illicit ""goods"". Not exactly family friendly.

The council seem to be happy for new developments to be approved on the pretext of affordable housing. However, they're usually both unaffordable and are generally multi-storey and multi block monstrosities with no consideration for fitting in with the surrounding homes or neighbourhood, nor for the required infrastructure as a result of more people, more traffic, more parking required, more and improved public transport and better and greater amenities and facilities.
A great pity as Mitcham seems to have been a town with an interesting history and what was once no doubt a pleasant town centre.
