    The mountain of rubbish

    The Environment Agency has cleared 2,500 tonnes of waste from a giant rubbish pile.

    The 50ft-high heap lay just yards away from a row of houses in Orpington whose residents fought for three years to have it removed.

    Work to clear the former Waste4Fuel site began in November 2016 and has cost more than £4.5m in public funds.

    The firm had originally intended to burn the waste brought to the site for renewable energy.

    Analysis carried out to mark Work Wise UK's Commute Smart Week, external discovered that an average daily journey took 62 minutes.

    Getting to and from work now takes commuters an extra seven minutes a day compared with a decade ago.

    Nationally, commuters face an average daily journey of 58 minutes, up five minutes from 2007.

    Quote Message

    Commutes should be getting shorter, but inflexible bosses and our cash-starved transport system mean we’re wasting more and more time getting to work.

    Quote Message

    It doesn’t have to be like this. Home working and less rigid hours would take pressure off road and rail.

    Quote Message

    Serious government investment could give us a transport network that’s up to the job.

    Megan Dobney, TUC regional secretary for the South East

    Rail commuters face the longest journeys, taking an average of two hours and 12 minutes every day.

    Drivers spend 52 minutes on the road to work and back, while bus commuters must set aside 39 minutes a day.

    Cyclists spend 43 minutes a day travelling, while walkers take just 30 minutes.
