Rustam Sukander took over AS Properties in 2022 and has communicated with Newham Council about paan spitting issues in Plashet Grove. The chronic spitting is creating a stained and neglected environment. Rustam feels disheartened as the area has become known for its unhygienic conditions. He claims the council has offered disappointing responses regarding the issue, stating there are financial constraints preventing effective action. Without immediate intervention, he warns the conditions will worsen and further impact local businesses.
The chronic issue of paan spitting has turned this once-vibrant stretch of east London into a stained, neglected, and unhygienic embarrassment.
I've been in contact with Newham Council from the minute I stepped into the office because I saw the state of the area and I wasn't used to that.
If action isn't taken, it will continue to get worse for us businesses.
I was told by Newham Council that they couldn't afford to take action or use more enforcement officers.
